Where I winter in Florida seems somewhat uncivilized; however, a Wolfeboro friend has long been retired on a Bahamian Island: it's over 100 miles east-to-west.

• The islanders repair the roadways by themselves.

• Beaches are maintained by the islanders.

• For the island chain, voting-results take one month to discover the outcomes.

• There is no penalty for drunk driving.

• They all have Medjet-type insurance to fly to Florida when medical help is needed.

• The Bahamas Government has promised much more in medical care—and my friend's island did get their first piece of equipment—an X-ray machine.
