Okay. I'm not retired. But I'm not in Jersey
anymore so I got that goin' for me...
New Jersey is the worst place in America to retire according to the latest analysis from WalletHub. The Garden State finished behind New York (#49), Connecticut (#43), and Pennsylvania (#32). “In order to identify the most retirement-friendly states, WalletHub compared the 50 states across three key dimensions: 1) Affordability, 2) Quality of Life and 3) Health Care,” the site’s explanatory blurb begins. New Jersey finished 50th in affordability, 35th in quality of life, and 33rd in health care.
“We evaluated those dimensions using 45 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the most favorable conditions for retirement. For metrics marked with an asterisk (*), we used the square root of the population to calculate the population size in order to avoid overcompensating for minor differences across states,” the Wallet Hub team elaborated. “We then calculated each state’s weighted average across all metrics to determine its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order the states.”

I can't imagine this fuckin' stupidity is limited to just here in Florida. It's bad enough when ya see a woman doing it, but I see a guy pushing a baby carriage with a little jerkoff yappy-dog in it, I wanna just run up to 'em and smack the livin' fuckin' stupid outta them.
... A new analysis of the nation’s property taxes across all 50 states confirms that New Jersey has once again secured a dubious distinction: worst property tax state.
The Garden State’s current average annual property tax burden is $8,314 though it’s obviously much higher in Northern New Jersey. The national average is $2,787.

Ernest Hemingway look-alikes are being used by the Florida Keys tourism council to encourage visitors and residents to wear masks to protect against COVID-19.
The men, a former winner and five regular contestants in Key West’s annual “Papa” Hemingway Look-Alike Contest, appear in a short video that debuted Monday evening on Keys’ social media outlets, urging compliance with coronavirus health protocols.

This flip-flop pipsqueak quack makes
more money than the President.
Dr. Anthony Fauci made $417,608 in 2019, the latest year for which federal salaries are available. That made him not only the highest paid doctor in the federal government, but the highest paid out of all four million federal employees. In fact, Dr. Fauci even made more than the $400,000 salary of the President of the United States. All salary data was collected by OpenTheBooks.com via Freedom of Information Act requests.
Only federal employees whose salaries were funded by taxpayers were included in the study. Therefore, Tennessee Valley Authority CEO Jeffrey Lyash— whose salary is paid by revenues of the corporation (owned by the federal government) — was not included.

This may be the Sunshine State and all that happy shit, but Florida does get a little nipply this time of year. In the mornings it can be in the low 40's for quite a while till the sun kicks in. What I do - kinda like Sheldon on Big Bang - is wear a long-sleeve T-shirt under a short-sleeve one. That way if it does get a little toasty during the day (usually gets up to mid 70-ish), I just peel one off and I'm good for the rest of the day.
I found a good source for a great t-shirt.

Biden cast doubt Monday on the ability of the Senate to convict former President Donald Trump- just as House impeachment managers were transmitting a formal article to the chamber that will set in motion his historic trial. Biden, who served for decades in the Senate and once chaired the Judiciary Committee, low-balled the chance of success for Democratic managers before they had even begun to make their case. 'The Senate has changed since I was there, but it hasn't changed that much,'

Just a quick shout-out to all the guys here that have bought my wife's Jewelry as gifts for their significant others. I'd repost the nice comments here but my wife prefers I don't, and you know how that goes. She really does appreciate all of the nice things you guys say about her stuff. Thanks again.
If you haven't considered buying her jewelry as a gift for someone special, it might be time to re-consider. Why not just take a look - It's not expensive and it's really nice stuff.
Find something nice for your wife or girlfriend.
Take a look at the one-of-a-kind jewelry my wife creates for women.

I moved from Maryland to Pennsylvania 20 years ago. Take home pay went up $50 a week. Since I retired my retirement income is not taxed as it would be in Maryland. No state tax on 401k withdraws, pension or SS. Since I bought a house on 31 acres zoned Agricultural I qualify for lower real estate and school taxes. In my case it works out to better than the 32nd place rating cited for Pennsylvania.
