With you all the way, brother -- and you are spot-on, WRT to the VA side being better than that which is to the north. The really sad part is that I truly loved living in VA...until a little over a decade ago, when Black Jesus ascended to the WH, and which point things seemed to change around here. LIke a nastier, even more selfish breed of folks started moving in all around us...probably transplants from Chicago and those from MD/DC trying to flee their higher taxes.
We could certainly absorb the loss of my wife's job if it came to that...the loss of mine would make things more challenging, but like you, I'm willing to go that far because I'm NOT. TAKING. THESE. SHOTS.
