I"m in NY. My brothers in CA. Both have crazy regulations and taxes. But, my brother has a beach house in Del Mar, Ca and his lake house on Lake Tahoe. Guess where I go for vacation.

In general I think that our society is getting way over regulated. i have a business that makes an item for children. Because of the contaminated toys that came in from China a few years ago Congress passed crazy new laws. The intent is good but the reality is that it has put a lot of manufacturers and retailers out of business. The cost in time and money to comply and the liabilities are simply out of line. I have to limit the size of my business because if I go over a certain level in sales the cost to comply goes up exponentially. As a result we have fewer employees. Enough of me complaining for today.

I'm sitting in my log cabin on top of a mountain in the Adirondacks. It's cold and spitting snow. Beautiful, but I wish I were in sunny weather and enjoying my Cobra. Hopefully my last winter in the north east. (OK, complained 1 more time. Now I'm done.)
