Retirement in Ohio  :hmm:

I mean what can one do there? Drive one of your cars to an enormous car park, pop into the mall and buy more consumer tat..................I suppose  :hmm:

Now, the cultivation of cabbages, there is an interest that might satisfy a man of Ed's ilk  :cool:

It's cheap, its near my business interests, and my parents are nearby. I worry about them. Also, its cheap.

I'm still looking at a summer Normandy home but internet house shopping sucks. it is either a wrecked farmhouse from 1820 or something for hobbits.

"summer home in Normandy" :rolleyes: Stop being pretentious.  You know you're going to end up in Fort Myers or somewhere like that. :showoff:

Let me be pretentious. I don't get a much chance to.

P.S. Fuck Florida. My balls will sweat too much. Plano Texas would be much more my speed. My balls will sweat in more comfort.

Why Normandy, of all places? Do you want to reenact the D-Day landings in your backyard?

I like it too, decent climate, good food and pleasant countryside. You should maybe wait to see if the Euro collapses before buying, might be some bargains a year or two down the line.

A friend of mine rented a house there for a weekend for a trip with his family, and he told me that they had to go to the nearest Auchan and buy thick sweaters to wear them indoors. In July.

We have an office in Plano, which I'm sure I will visit at some point.  I'll give you an AAR.

Which sounds much better than my balls sweating in the heat here.

I assume you are talking about west Plano.  Personally, I find it hopelessly flat, pretentious, and boring. :P  East Plano is fast becoming more interesting, though its also much lower rent.
