Dusty,
Good question: main reason--because Ms LD won't leave, and 28 years married because of compromise. Divorce is really expensive and painful. And there are some really good things about this area. New house won't finish until March or so.
Oh, and Mr. Meteorologist says tropical system in Gulf might develop, and its coming right out way on Monday-Tuesday.
Very unpredictable system right now. Might have been able to ride, but likely would have been drowned. Done that several times this year, and I can handle wet. I don't like the lightning and wind.

Lovely.
