Free At Last!

As of Thursday, October 11, 2007, we have been freed from the clutches of the People's Republic of Kalifornia! We are now officially residents of the Great State of Nevada, Pahrump, Nevada to be exact. After getting a Pahrump mailing address we obtained our Nevada driver's licenses and registered to vote here in Nye County. We then spent most of Friday doing address changes from our old Indio address to the new one here in Pahrump. You don't realize how many places have your address until you start to make a change.

Once we pay our 10 months of California State income tax for 2007 we will have no more state income tax returns to file! YEA! Also, unlike gun-hating California, Nevada actually has a simple and quick procedure in place to qualify retired out of state law enforcement officers to carry concealed weapons under the 2005 Federal law. For two years I was unable to get any California law enforcement agency to allow me to qualify with my weapon at their range. Here, it took me ten minutes to set it up and I will be on the range next Tuesday.

We are enjoying our stay here at the Charleston Peak RV Resort. We have wandered around town, visited a few casinos, and had a good stay so far. Lots of activities here at the resort. We are doing karaoke in the clubhouse on Sunday. Will let you now how that went later.

Bye for now.
