Even before he became worth $30 million smackerooonies, Souter, or "Massa Dave" as the slack jawed, inbred, ding toed, sway backed, pink eyed locals know him, yearned for a life of quiet contemplation, far away from the lurid lights of Washington, or "Babylon" as he has always called it. Now he walks the echoing, marble floored corridors of 'Soutercrest', clad only in sandals and a simple monk's cloak, emerging only at night to go for long walks, cruising the dark alleys of this small town, seeking out lonely truck drivers and sailors to comfort...

We left Concord in '98 to move to NC. But I can say one thing for sure for 1998 in Concord, N.H. [Weare, N.H. is not too far from there - 15 miles, maybe.] There used to be a saying, "New Hampshire. No blax. No tax." [SG - feel free to delete this if you feel it is too controversial. Not trying to start any kind of racial war. Just telling the facts as they were back then.] And, I can tell you for certain that if there were homosexuals living there - they kept their activities in the closet. N.H., for many, many years was a very, very conservative and very, very Republican state. Wasn't until Jeanne Shaheen became governor that things started to change. We left in time - and shortly after Jeanne Shaheen changed the "land scape" of "pristine New Hampshire." Have not been back since we left. No reason. There may be no income or sales tax there but property taxes were stupendous! That, and the fact that it is just too damn cold in the winter...

A $24 million swing is just a tad more than any of us would get by with. Just sayin' ya' know. “Souter is the court’s wealthiest justice, but perhaps its most frugal.
