Were the rioters incited by the POTUS in an attempt to overturn his election defeat? None of that excuses mob violence of course, no matter where and why it happens. I'm also thinking that Portland needs to make a concerted effort to identify and arrest some of these hooligans. I suspect they've got a hard core group of repeat offenders that should be dealt with. |

No, they were just rioting, Wayne. Funny. Go to CNN.com or Washingtonpost.com and search for 'Portland riot'. Nothing. If the news doesn't support the liberal position, just don't report it. Now do the same with ABC. Do you see the difference? === It may give you some personal comfort to draw parallels between the Portland riots and Trump's capitol insurrection, but most people recognize that there is a huge difference. I do think that Portland needs to start taking names and kicking ass however. I don't see the capitol being any more sacred than the federal court house. They are coequal branches of government. If the thugs just want to burn the Portland City hall, that is a local problem. |

Number One on our "hit list" are a couple of areas just west of Savannah. Hilton Head is still nice, but it is pretty congested these days and we noticed that for months at a time, from spring through September at least, the auto traffic is very heavy all around the island and just off of it. If you go off-island, the traffic wait to get back on it is lengthy and annoying. Also, a lot of the island is looking worn-out.

It is nothing like D.C., which is a pretty small city. If we were to live again in Florida, we think St. Augustine is livable. We like visiting Ft. Lauderdale and Miami in the winter, though. Your fixation on homosexuality will stand you in good stead in SF. Terrible place anymore. Has been ruined in the last 20-30 years. Homeless everywhere, even city hall grounds. I grew up across the bay from San Francisco, liked it. Went to City College of SF, and graduated from SF State. Worked there for 10 years. The political leaders have trashed the place. Over taxed, under served. I spent a week in San Francisco in 74 and it sucked then. |

Your fixation on homosexuality will stand you in good stead in SF. Terrible place anymore. Has been ruined in the last 20-30 years. Homeless everywhere, even city hall grounds. I grew up across the bay from San Francisco, liked it. Went to City College of SF, and graduated from SF State. Worked there for 10 years. The political leaders have trashed the place. Over taxed, under served. I spent a week in San Francisco in 74 and it sucked then. We visited San Francisco several years ago. I enjoyed the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the view point across the bay. The rest of it pretty much sucked. And I hear it's gone way downhill since then.

My favorite spot in the whole city was sitting on the roof of the cat walk between the 15 floors of the 2 towers. 150 feet above the city is how you should see it., The bay bridge was out there along with city lights like you would expect. That was great until someone saw me and thought I was jumping or something. I was sitting there with my feet dangling over the edge enjoying my cocktail. I managed to get inside before the fire department arrived. ;-) They told me I couldn't do that anymore and they nailed the windows shut. The best was the Jack Tar hotel. They had a rotating cylinder sign on the roof. Sit on the edge and get a 360 degrees view. I think it is now the Cathedral Hill Hotel. You probably know the hotel I am talking about. It is in the tenderloin, 2 tall towers with a catwalk between them on the 16th floor. I am thinking Hyatt. Might be the Hyatt Regency. But that is more financial district and not Tenderloin. I worked nights in the Tenderloin for years. We had the computer systems in Macy’s and Capwells. The night entrance for Capwells was an alley where those living in the street lived. |

My oldest son and his wife have done that, turning their summer home out east into their year round residence, and working from home. I gave up trying to convince my wife that my favorite little Connecticut town, Milford, would be a great place to retire. She's a Southern belle, and cannot tolerate the winter cold there or the water temperature of the Sound for swimming in the summer...too cold for her. Neither of us want to return to Florida. Number One on our "hit list" are a couple of areas just west of Savannah. Hilton Head is still nice, but it is pretty congested these days and we noticed that for months at a time, from spring through September at least, the auto traffic is very heavy all around the island and just off of it. If you go off-island, the traffic wait to get back on it is lengthy and annoying. Also, a lot of the island is looking worn-out. Plus, Georgia seems a bit more socially progressive than South Carolina, as evidenced that in the recent elections there, a black minister and a Jew were elected to the U.S. Senate, both Democrats. Atlanta might be for you. It is pretty much like DC and I lived in both places. Those is the people who are driving Georgia politics now. That's funny. I've no interest in living in any big metro center, with the possible exception of San Francisco. I've been to Atlanta maybe a half dozen times on business and do not find it appealing. It is nothing like D.C., which is a pretty small city. If we were to live again in Florida, we think St. Augustine is livable. We like visiting Ft. Lauderdale and Miami in the winter, though.
