VERY cool test! I also envy you your "backyard scenery". I wanted to live in Az, until I found out they'd ruined it with a state income tax. STILL, it's a pretty place that I enjoy visiting, every time I go.

It's still a pretty low rate. Besides, our ability to carry long guns or handguns openly or concealed, loaded or unloaded, in or out of a vehicle without groveling before the throne of the almighty state for a permission slip probably makes up for it.

Seriously, though, it's a beautiful place to live and you're welcome here.
