That's It- I'm Moving!

Arizona just completely banned trail cameras, all year long, not just during the hunting season. No state is perfect and guns aren't the only issue that matters.

I use that as an example of larger cities out voting the rural areas. It doesn't take much.

Pretty sure the paper bags are still free. Or do what I do in Boulder when the self checkout asks how many plastic bags you have and just press the "No Bags" button..

Not for long. They jammed those on there too.

OP, good luck on your move.

I travel a fair amount for work. Some of the trips are almost 2 weeks long so I stay in lodging with a mini kitchen. This necessitates grocery shopping. I regularly have to travel to CA (San Jose and L.A. areas). CA is one of those places where you're charged for any "one time use" bags you use. I was in both of the previously mentioned CA locales for 2 weeks each in March and when I tried to use the "0" choice for how many bags I had (because I wasn't using any of their bags) the self-checkout registers locked up and required an employee to come and override the lock up (and clearly to verify I didn't use any of their bags). I assume they'll do something similar here.

The closer you are to retirement, the easier it is to move.

Not so much for me. I'm looking to retire in 5 years. My kids are grown and out of the house for 10+ years now. Moving away from them (and my grandkids which I enjoy seeing once/week) is the deal breaker for me. Unless I can convince them (daughter, son-in-law, son) to pull up stakes and move with me, I can't do it.... yet.

I'd go to Sam's Club and buy a box of 500 of those bags for $15.00. Keep them in your car and bring them in with you.

Exactly what I am doing to stock up. I have a box that I use for poop patrol. Gonna grab a couple extra boxes next time I go.

That's very much where we are at right now. I'm planning to be done with FT W2 work in the next 2 years at most. I'll go contract and PT and pick my battles and be retiring on 100% income. We have a 5 year old GS in San Antonio/TX where I just can't fathom living due to weather, and one here just up the road that's 6.

I like the idea of the area GK and OBC are in, but might be a tough sell with the wife who will still be working (Nursing) when I retire.

FWIW: they are desperate down here for qualified nurses. I know the rehab place i was at. Is offering up to a $10k signing bonus.
One of the largest NOW HIRING sections is for people in the nursing field.

This county is the most red county in the entire state...and it's beautiful here. Consider it, it's a cool place.

In the interest of scope, I should add that AZ is roughly the same geographical space as CO, however, we only have 11 counties. So think of 11 Weld counties here.

The only blue one is Maricopa...the home of PHX and pillow biting libtards.

And Pima, but fortunately other than petty local stuff (think mask mandates), I still remain unaffected by the libs here.

For those who have never visited AZ. We have little fluffy clouds.
