...67 here. Live in the NE. I can still beat the snot out of most of you in cooler weather. I HATE FLORIDA WEATHER!!! Most oldsters move there because they THINK the warmer weather will be better for them. What happens is they get MORE sedentary because it's too hot to do anything outside. Heck, most oldsters don't even walk their dog. (ie. open the back door and let the dog sh*t all over the yard OR hire a dog walker). The other primary reason ("They like southern states because the taxes are low." ) is Florida doesn't have an income tax so their SS and Pension income allows them to keep that AC cranking 24/7.
I can't wait to race on NYD in 20 degrees!
I don't understand the government. They give you money and then tax it back, and you have to file it yourself. Why don't they just deduct everything beforehand, or even simpler, not tax it?
It's like me giving a box of candies to my kids as a Christmas present and then asking for 10% of it back simply because I am their legal guardian. They'd be outraged.
