I may have to retire there myself since my beloved Florida is getting so expensive. My mother-in law's house=2C a 3/2 in a medium size town=2C just sold for $56=2C000. and my dad's house=2C a 2/1 with large garage is for sale now for $18=2C000 if you're interested!  =3BYou can't even buy a Honda for that price. Good luck=2C and let us know where you settle.

I lived in Lawrence while I was getting my Ph.D. It is a lovely town and close to Kansas City if you get bored with gentle living. =3B Lots of people are leaving California owing to the high taxes. =3B Since it is now bankrupt it will only get worse.  =3B Tom  =3B From: aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Rogers Sent: Friday=2C June 18=2C 2010 10:20 AM To: Discussion of aroids Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Temperate Tuberous Species Dormancy  =3B Hiyer=2C Andrew!  =3B Good to hear from you.  =3B Absolutely!! My wife and I have wanted to leave CA for nearly twenty years. I love the natural history and the restaurants. We hate the crowds=2C the high taxes=2C the blatant stupidity. I will give you an example: I live in the City of Davis. Due to the poor economy=2C Davis has cut several law enforcement programs=2C and not hired several police officers that were supposed to be added to the force. However=2C Davis has decided that it needs to fill a newly created =3Bposition=2C a position that is full time=2C with full benefits. That position is City Poet.  =3B Another example: the governor announced back in January that the state was broke=2C and pleaded with the legislature to cut spending. On camera the legislature agreed. Over the next months=2C the legislature then passed millions of =3Bdollars worth of brand new mandatory programs.  =3B My wife and I grew up in the country=2C and we want to get back to that far less complicated existence.  =3B Happy days=2C Christopher  =3B On Thu=2C Jun 17=2C 2010 at 9:35 PM=2C Andrew Schrimsher <=3Bbigdopey.whiteboy@verizon.net>=3B wrote: California to Kansas?...on purpose?....  =3B From: aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Rogers Sent: Thursday=2C June 17=2C 2010 4:25 PM To: Aroid-L Subject: [Aroid-l] Temperate Tuberous Species Dormancy  =3B Hiyer!  =3B I have some Pinellia=2C Arisaema and Arisarum that I need to go dormant because I am moving.
