The Mood in Your State

Time Magazine's America's Mood Map is an interactive site that claims it can show what kind of personalities dominate in each of the various states. While we think the results are a little too general to be worth much, it is interesting. As one surprising example, West Virginia is supposedly the most neurotic state.

Jacksonville, Oregon

One of the original gold mining towns in Oregon, Jacksonville has over 100 buildings within its Historic District. There are some Basque restaurants and local wineries, along with a wonderful location in the Rogue River Valley's orchard region. The natural amphitheater is the venue for festivals and concerts.

Advanced Search - "Better Than Anything Else Out There"

Our friend Ed gave Topretirements a nice compliment. He said he thought our Advanced Search is a a great database and resource - the best retirement calculator he's seen. In fact he went on to say in his opinion it is way more useful than our Retirement Ranger. Thanks Ed!
