Great write-up, Vinnie. I'll follow suit with my own narrative of our move to Maine. I'll tell you, Maine is by far not the most perfect place for many of the reasons you gave as reasons to move to Arkansas. Family was a major contributing factor to our decision. Well, we are here and making the best of it.

I'd love to hear it. Maine changed so much in the last few decades.

Congratulations! I left WA state almost four years ago. There are a lot of good people there, but I would never be able to retire or own my own place. I'm much happier in rural KS

Combine inversion layer with incompetent government that has no clue how to do forest management. What do you get? https://www.kdrv.com/news/top-stories/medford-ranked-americas-smokiest-city-from-2019-to-2023/article_a3604b44-f314-11ef-b3cf-dbcc1465fec5.html

Another reason why we did not do a farm in Oregon. The state is cracking down on small farms. https://x.com/wallstreetapes/status/1852782386678988968?s=61
