my choice for retirement.
You and everyone else
When I was looking to leave Baton Rouge, I posted about two jobs, one in the Woodlands, TX area (which I had heard of), the other in Naples, which I knew nothing about. Everyone said Naples. I took a chance, moved here, sight unseen, had never even visited. 4 years later, went through months of flooding, a giant hurricane, but I love it here in SWFL. Quiet, my drive to work is 10 minutes or less, driving through beautifully landscaped roads, no trash. 3 hours in any direction are pro-sports teams, amusement parks (Disney, Universal, Busche) and Key West. People knock Florida but it is really nice here.

bruh I love the cold
I was born and spent my early childhood in NH. I'd rather have a Game of Thrones style winter for a few months than walk around sweating and feeling moist all day for 5 months out of the year.
All these plastic straws have made the summers unbearable

Meh.
Nothing against Naples, I hear it’s a nice area. But those three are not selling points (in my personal opinion)

Those 3 months are just absolutely unbearable. If it’s not 99% humidity and 90 degrees, it’s raining.

It's that time of year you can do the steaming hot water trick. Take a glass of boiling water go outside and throw it in the air. It instantly evaporates into a cloud of steam. Very cool science guy trick to impress the kids.

Everyone should have two permanent residences. One up north for June through August, one down South for the rest of the year.
My dad spends his summers and occasionally a few random weeks in the Bozeman, Montana area. He loves it there.

You live up north because you were trying to get away from KSGamecock.
But it did not work. I am pretty sure he moved north as well.
Is he stalking you?

Is there good trout fishing in MN?
Don't really know. Maybe lake trout in the big lakes?
We just fished for bream ("sunnies" up there) and white perch (craaaaaaaaaaapie) and even some decent bass (bass).
Obviously no shortages of places to get a line wet in the land of 10k lakes.

It's a dry cold though.

-26 is brutal but how many days a year are y'all below zero?
Posted on 1/26/19 at 1:37 pm to Tweet Tweet Birdies
Wrong part of up north. Our lows average in the 40's. Below freezing is rare, much less negative temps.

Nothing against Naples, I hear it’s a nice area.
The roads were built with enough lanes to handle the traffic easily. There are many alternate roads if one is closed due to a bad wreck. Even in snowbird season the traffic is nowhere anything like the abortion in Tampa, Orlando, Baton Rouge, etc.
There are bars, many types of food, and live music. It is not far to some decent live theaters.
If not for hurricanes and 11 months of summer, it would be awesome.

Southeast MN's bluff country has miles of streams with good trout fishing and stunning scenery.
