Wow, Bill, that sucks. Dave and Pastor Bubba are right, though; your attitude is amazing. I'm afraid I would be uncontrollably angry at the world in your situation.

There are lots of available spaces here (Central Florida) that could meet your requirements, but the shut-down of the space program has put the economy in serious decline here. There are lots of vacant homes and businesses and few available jobs.

As for seasons - we have two here; Fall-spring which lasts about 4 months and Summer which lasts about 8 months. There is no real Winter. We (my family and I) moved here from Indiana in 1980. After a brief period of homesickness and adjustment, we have never been sorry. I cannot think of anything that could get me to go back north to live.
