Florida is a horrible place, 2 many people. Of course it was 82 here again.

In the US as listed by Forbes magazine.
1. Durham, NC
Population: 223,284
% over 50: 25%
Median home price: $163,000
State income tax: 7.75%*
Where to take classes: Duke University
Durham would rank as a retiree Mecca even without Duke University's stellar lifelong-learning program. Residents enjoy four seasons -- but without them being too extreme. Homes are affordable, the area is dotted with golf courses and parkland, and the region is home to a renowned university medical center.
This former tobacco town also is a budding cultural haven. Duke's Nasher Museum of Art has a growing contemporary art collection. Concerts and Broadway hits, such as Billy Elliot and the Lion King, frequently make their way to the newly built 2,800-seat Durham Performing Arts Center.
Duke's 33-year-old senior learning program is one of the largest in the country, with more than 1,500 members. There are 100-plus courses offered every term, covering topics from Introduction to China to Alexander the Great. Plus, because most courses are offered on campus, members can mix with the younger generation in the student center, libraries, and dining halls.

Not surprised by Durham, the whole RTP area is pretty dang nice. I get down there for work sometimes, and it's getting a little crowded but still nothing compared to the bigger cities.

Durham would be nice, but hard to picture it the way it was in 1981. Leaning toward the hill country of Texas. I think I could be a Texan.

Vince, does this mean you didn't get the job overseas Brother ?

No Rocky didn't get the Okinawa job. Usually a well connected officer will get those GS positions so they retire and the next day walk into civil service. I'm still working full time for the Air national Gaurd and trying to make E-9 but may not be in the cards. I'm thinking I may not want to shovel snow in New England much longer. We should get together next summer for a drink though since we are so close. Regards Vince

You're right about the well-connected officers and civil service jobs. Saw that a lot at HQ USCENTCOM in Tampa while I was there.

Sorry to hear that Brother.
Yes, we will get together.
I'm sick of shoveling snow also.
Hang in there Vince.
