You can bet Obama is going to try to extend his reach internationally if at
all possible. :-)

Where did your ancesetors come from prior to Jamestown?

Planning to sell your home, or let one of your kids have it?

Just curious...

I can see him doing it -- my mother began her "retirement" to New Zealand (one
of Jim's likely destinations) at roughly age 60 (about a decade ago), and
obtained her permanent residency at few years ago now. She owns a house and a
cottage, has an NZ driver's license, and enjoys imitating a Kiwi accent...

I know several who have. Mexico and Costa Rica are two popular retirement
destinations.

He's already started. But it only applies if you're within the US and
receiving income from without. Thus a confiscatory tax is simply
avoided by moving out.

The Jamestown bunch came from Scotland. Later arrivals were from
Britain and Germany.

Probably just walk away. With the market like it is I owe slightly
more than the real value... at least right now.

Those long e's where we don't expect them drive me nuts... like in

I don't feel 70... I'm not even all that wrinkled :-)
