Hope ur wife is better soon, HB.
PA has the highest gas tax in the country. If we go to the casino in NY, we take the gas cans along to fill up on the reservation...NO tax.
We always thought about retiring in ID, but guess we're staying put. Several people told me NM and AZ are nice, but my friend in AZ kills rattlesnakes in her yd...not for me
