Ron,
For what you can sell your home for in Cal you could by a very nice home in sunny Florida. No state income tax and 6 to 7% sales tax in most areas. Just stay away from our left coast MIAMI.
My family is buried all over this world from New York to Canada to Texas to England to Delaware and God only knows were else.
Sorry to hear your health is not all you wish it to be. I know how that one goes as my hands and other joints are turning on me. Makes it a bit hard to work in my field some days.
