"Double-A" wrote in message om... I don't know why so many people retire to Florida. I guess some like it hot. Actually, I hate it when it gets hot. I would rather retire to Alaska. That way I would never have to suffer through another miserable hot summer again! Double-A I don't knoooooww about that!! Better check with some of the recent posts from the **alternative science** crowd. If any one of them is right Alaska will be a tropic from either global warming, the toasting from the impending white-dwarf excursion, the contiuing contraction of the universe, or maybe danny min's suitcase nuke. The land mass we know as Alaska was tropical in the past, so it could happen again. SCOFF!!!???!! Well, just how soon do you expect to retire? Your 401K certainly won't be ready to support you in the foreseeable future!! You don't have enough salary credits to qualify for more than $196/month from social security. So you know that even if the **AS** predictions are off by as little as, well, a factor of 10^3, you still won't be retired and Alaska will be one huge lake due to the perma frost defrosting. Hope the elk have webbed feet!! |

... Hi Painius Well you must have lived in Mission Hills to be 25 ft above sea level(yes?) Florida came up out of the Atlantic about 8 million years ago. It can't be more than 6ft above sea level,and there are lots of areas below sea level. It was not a home for dinosaurs. The saber tooth tiger, small deer,rats,gators, snakes,black bear and armadillos Bert Check again oh guru of grapefruits 'n oranges... http://gulfsci.usgs.gov/maps/dem/index.html Some areas of Clearwater FL right near the beaches get up to 105 ft above sea level. Florida is a little hillier than most people seem to think. It ain't West-By-God-Virginia, but it ain't so flat, neither. g hd&ssn Paine |

The land mass we know as Alaska was tropical in the past, so it could happen again. If Alaska becomes tropical, then Florida will be under water from the rise in sea level brought on by the melting polar capes. So I'd still rather be in Alaska. SCOFF!!!???!! Well, just how soon do you expect to retire? Your 401K certainly won't be ready to support you in the foreseeable future!! Already spent all that to survive this recession which began in the last year of Clinton. Lost my investment money when the stock market crashed that year too. You don't have enough salary credits to qualify for more than $196/month from social security. I don't expect there to be any social security by the time I retire. If there is, I'll probably have to wait till I'm 80 to collect anything! The best I can hope for is that my pension will provide me with sufficient money to buy a cheap "Saturday night special" with which to put myself out of my misery! So you know that even if the **AS** predictions are off by as little as, well, a factor of 10^3, you still won't be retired and Alaska will be one huge lake due to the perma frost defrosting. Hope the elk have webbed feet!! The mutant Elk with webbed feet will be the survivors. Double-A |
