My kids and their families all live in Idaho, but we are thinking of moving there when we retire, but here in Montana we don't have sales tax, and we are pretty sheltered. Fads don't seem to hit here until they aren't fads anymore, and there is even one lady that rides her horse into town to do errands. It's cowboy friendly and Huey Lewis (remember him?) lives here. not that I would know him if he stepped on me, but they say he is real friendly.
