That is a hair-raising article. Thanks for posting.

We had thought about retiring out on Vancouver Island (in the distant future) because the climate is so much more friendly to geezers. A great many Canucks from the Prairies (the interior of the continent -- Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) have had the same idea.

Are the direct benefits worth the risk? Phew. Good question.

Edit: how the heck do you make that calculation? Thoughts?
