        Where to live after retirement:
         
        You can live in Phoenix where...
        1. You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you found shade. 
        2. You'll experience condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl. 
        3. You can drive for 4 hours in one direction and never leave town. 
        4. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food. 
        5. You know that 'dry heat' is comparable to what hits you in the face when you open your oven door. 
        6 The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! 
         
        You can live in California where... 
        1. You make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house. 
        2. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway. 
        3. You know how to eat an artichoke. 
        4. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood block party. 
        5. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.
        6. The 4 seasons are: Fire, Flood, Mud, and Drought
         
        You can live in New York City where...
        1. You say 'the city' and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan . 
        2. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can't find Wisconsin on a map. 
        3. You think Central Park is 'nature,' 
        4. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual. 
        5. You've worn out a car horn. 
        6. You think eye contact is an act of aggression. 
         
        You can Live in Maine where... 
        1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and  Tabasco . 
        2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas. 
        3. You have more than one recipe for moose. 
        4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than eight buttons. 
        5. The four seasons are: winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction.
         
          You can Live in North Carolina where...
        1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store. 
        2. 'y'all' is singular and 'all y'all' is plural. 
        3. 'He needed killin'' is a valid defense. 
        4. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob, Mary Sue, Betty Jean, MARY BETH, etc. 
         
        You can live in Colorado where...
        1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car.
        2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home and he stops at the day care center. 
        3. A pass does not involve a football or dating. 
        4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail. 
         
        You can live in Wyoming where...
        1. You've never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name. 
        2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor. 
        3. You have had to switch from 'heat' to 'A/C' on the same day. 
        4. You end sentences with a preposition: 'Where's my coat at?' 
        5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you say, 'It was different!' 
         
          AND you can live in  Florida where..
        1. You eat dinner at 3:15 in the afternoon. 
        2. All purchases include a coupon of some kind -- even houses and cars. 
        3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist. 
        4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state. 
        5. Cars in front of you are often driven by headless people.

or you can move to Kentucky

1) Redneck jokes are based on true life experiences
2) Most crimes go unpunished because we all have the same DNA
3) Your residence becomes permanent when you take the wheels off
4) If you're lucky enough to have a real house, it has 4 rooms and a path

You can live in Washington State where:
1.  there is only 2 seasons Winter and Winter.
2.  The distance between the two major cities is 400 miles.
3.  breaking news on TV is 1 to 2 inches of snow.
4.  you drive where you want because there are no lines on the roads.
5.  most missing people are finally found in the pot holes.
6.  every other person is suffering from MS.
7   people jay-walk and don't think it is a problem.
8.  if the seasons do change there is a 40 degree difference.
