With its sunny beaches and friendly tax code, Florida is the best state to retire in, according to an annual study. But if you’re looking for a lower cost of living and don’t mind all four seasons, you can find excellent alternatives in these other states. nyti.ms/4hAFsL1

A chart titled "The Best and Worst States For Retirement." Florida, Minnesota, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota are the top five and Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Washington and New Mexico are the bottom five.

I checked hours earlier this week, looking for a place to donate apples on Monday. Albuquerque's big food pantries are down to 3-day schedules, open 2-3 hours at a time. I am not sure if that is due to a shortage of supplies or volunteers. I'll ask.

HOTDOG COMPANY

It's come to our attention that SNAP benefits may not be issued next month, and a lot of local families will likely feel that impact. For parents already doing their best to juggle everything, even small changes can make a big difference when it comes to keeping kids fed.

Back during COVID, we offered free kids' meals to help families get through a tough time, and it feels like the right thing to do again. Starting November 1, kids can stop by and get a Classic Starter Hotdog on us.

If your family has been affected, or if you know someone who could use a hand, please spread the word. Just mention the "UHDC KIDS Special" and our team will take care of the rest. No purchase, no questions, no strings attached. Kids must be present.

This isn't about picking sides. It's about people. It's about our kids, our neighbors, and our community. No child should ever go hungry, and if we can do a small part to help, we're proud to do it.

We've always believed we're stronger together, and as a community, we'll get through this the same way we always have: by looking out for each other.
