OT: Eastern Kentucky ** Was: Back to Duty

[Guest guest]

Howdy Kat,

 

> Hey Butch I really think you should move to eastern KY.

 

I'm a Kentucky Boy fer'shur .. and a Kentucky Colonel .. but Kentucky

has a state income tax .. I can't see letting them tax my military

retirement check. Especially since Congress long ago justified lower

wages for duties compared with similar civilian duties .. by calling our

pay " delayed compensation. " They taxed us monthly at the pay table and

they tax us later when the retirement check or " delayed compensation "

comes in. That's what most folks would call double taxation. ;-)

 

> I live about 20 miles from Paintsville out in the middle of no where.

> Its very green here.

 

I know Paintsville .. right on the West By Gawd Virginnie border. Small

little town and an EXTREMELY low crime rate. Course, Kentucky folks and

them from West By Gawd Virginnie whut live in little towns sorta look

after one another .. and don't forgive them whut try to violate their

life, liberty or property. ;-)

 

> Pretty cheap to live in this area.

 

Probably is .. outside Paintsville, that is. But its a little bit too

far North for me .. growing season fer them big ol' Hawg Bass ain't as

long as it is down in Suthran Kentucky and Tennessee. ;-)

 

> We need some intelligent people here.

 

Thankee ma'am fer the kind invite .. but I'm not sure I fit that

category in the first place. I reckon y'all need some bigger Bass

more'n you need smart folks anyhow. ;-)

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com
