    Didn't see this post until now, somehow...

    Outside of Vancouver, Southern Ontario, or the Maritimes Canada is very cold in the winter.
    Work is what was keeping me here.
    There is a major oil boom in the area that creates more jobs than there are people which drives wages way way up.

    On the plus side though, I recently learned of an opportunity I may have to move to Lakeland Florida and take over my little brothers job when they relocate him to Seattle.

    Now it's not confirmed or anything yet but if it works out I would be moving there before summer starts and I would be working a job that pays 3 and a half times the median income!!

    Or about the same wage as here, only with less taxes and a much much lower cost of living.

    I have 2 blood relatives in Canada, but I have 100+ in Florida

    I'm all for it so now it's really just a waiting game to see if it pans out.

    I think my odds are good as that company has employed my immediate family since my Dad graduated high school in the '70s!

    So hopefully next winter Rick will have some more competition in this game!!

      Hook me up with a 3 1/2 times the median income job and you can have all the tags and my 750t to get them with. Note: I don't go full Monty.

            Memorial bell...has to be actual bell. This was a Baptist church bell that used
            to be located on this site.

                        Sorry...I couldn't resist the glowing orb in the sky and the milder temperatures today. Led me straight to the insurance broker.

                                How come you have green grass in January? Doesn't it drop below freezing in Vancouver? Even if we have no snow, everything is brown and dead around here. Black ice is always present so bike riding is a dicey winter sport in NH!
