Body:	<i>LARRY how very nice of you to continue handling the job of WebMaster and to reach out to all of us during these most unusual and extraordinary days. I know we were are a very homogeneous group, there are probably no more than 300 different opinions about these times. And we're probably all over 65 (scary isn't it), but for me, this is much 'Ado about Nothing'. We've all had more than one case of the Flu. I suspect few of us like being told 'You're under House Arrest', or finding you can't go out to diner etc. When this is all over check, -- there were more 'Flu' deaths, in prior years, than even the inflated numbers being assigned to Covid-19. Nothing is turning out to be anywhere near as bad as has been shouted at us 24/7. But, I'll leave it there. We took a loss on the house and escaped Illinois 2 1/2 years ago. With the new Governor 'Pugsley', Toni Taxwinkle still in charge of Cook County, and Lady Lightfoot handling the expenditures in Chicago, -- we were well timed. We moved to the foothills of Phoenix, northwest of Phoenix proper in a town called Peoria -- yes it was started in the '50 by a former citizen of Peoria, Illinois. There is evidently going to be a lot of people following us as the housing prices are going up daily and Peoria alone has 5,000 building permits outstanding. The housing projects, which are popping up all over, are each about 1/2 mile square. The Vistas of the mountains and the desert are beautiful -- this is Big Sky country. 'Weather' is almost non-existent, roads are excellent, traffic runs from non-existent to very manageable (mostly non-existent), and taxes (compared to Illinois) are hardly noticeable. For those so inclined, hunting is abundant and you can, if you so desire, wear your gun in or out (without government permission). We're in the Sonora desert, which is unexpectedly full of life, much of which I had not seen before. There's a lot of green and some not so green, i.e. scorpions. Yes, the days can be warm, we've seen some 115. On those days I don't walk barefoot on the sidewalk, but I assure you because of the low humidity, the hot days are not nearly as bad as 80's & 90's in Chicago. As a big added bonus my wife's arthritis is history, except when she goes back to Chicago. As far as Covid-19 and the rest of the Flu germs, we spend most of every day killing as many as possible by sitting in the sunshine by the pool. So far we seem to being doing a pretty good job. Again Larry thanks for maintaining the Website and taking the time and effort to reach out to all of us. It's a very nice and thoughtful gesture. Good luck and good health to all of us.</i> *
