Don,
Thanks for your freedom loving thoughts.
Of the states in the US I would choose to live if I moved there...
WA and OR on the west coast and New England states on the east coast. In fact, I have a "relative" that lives in Merlin, or it might be Riddle, in OR.

Spanish Stuff: The tide turns. Languages creep. I think it wise to learn Spanish - even if you are Not in the US.
