I thought those were what was called " Big Red DOT " Spiders and weren't

poison ... ;-p Really ... I thought the only three poisonous spiders

common to the USA were the Tarantulula, Black Widow and that bad, bad,

bad, bad, dude ... the Brown Recluse. Of course, some others been known

to make folks go an hurt theirselves - yep!

 

I'm legally a Floridian .... never lived there in my life and don't plan

to but way back when Uncle Sam decided to allow states to tax GIs even

if we weren't living in a state, I decided I wasn't going along with

that .. rarely lived in the USA and I was not gonna pay a state income

tax on my military pay while living outside the USA. So I bought a lot

in Port Malabar .. Brevard County on the Indian River. Not far from

Melbourne.

 

Registered to vote there and that allowed me to claim Legal Domicile in

Florida .. which has no state income tax. Tourism and gambling is income

enough I reckon.

 

I gave away that lot and all else I owned except for two suitcases, a

Chevy Blazer and a lot in Oregon back in my divorce in '88 .. figure I

got out cheap too ... I didn't speak Spanish or Yankee all that well and

it was getting to where they was the main two languages spoke in Florida

except for the North border areas .. ;-p

 

Haven't lived in the USA since I retired on 1 Jan 89 so I never changed

the legal domicile .. I'm still a Floridian.
