@shakeyhand been here in Louisiana so long my hair has turned white. Love it in so many ways, but alas, my wife and I are considering moving. We suffered zero loss, amazing. Our homeowners insurance, though, prior to the storm has been $5000 annually. We fret to see how much more they want to increase it by due to this storm. Property taxes in my view for a $260,000 home is over $1700 ...... local and state sales tax is 10%. Add all that up and I could use that money to fly down and eat shrimp, crabs, oysters, fish, crawfish all year round. Sold my boat the other day and told my wife that I'll be just as happy to go back to my old ways of roadside fishing. Anyway, that new RimX 17WSM is a hoot to shoot. I've got Greg working on a field/hunting 22BR Improved and a target 22BR Improved. The 22's will be a nice time to spend working on a load for both rifles.
I'd like to consider Texas as a place to live. The options are endless, but I can assure you that I'm not interested in the cities. The little town of Leona cooks steaks on Friday and Saturday night at the general store .... the townsfolk contribute their time and effort to the cause. Something along those lines would interest me. And I would enjoy the opportunity to live situated in an area where landowners would like their pesky critters removed.
My wife and I don't have to act on anything soon ... we can surely wait 2-3 years ..... her Mother lives with us and is 90. But then again, 2-3 years down the road as we age, we may be reading a whole new story. Regardless, thank you for kindly checking in on us. I believe in the goodness of America and the kindness of the human spirit.
