Retirees play poker at a singles club in Sun City, Arizona, January 4, 2013. Sun City was built in 1959 by entrepreneur Del Webb as America?s first active retirement community for the over-55's. Del Webb predicted that retirees would flock to a community where they were given more than just a house with a rocking chair in which to sit and wait to die. Today?s residents keep their minds and bodies active by socializing at over 120 clubs with activities such as square dancing, ceramics, roller skating, computers, cheerleading, racquetball and yoga. There are 38,500 residents in the community with an average age 72.4 years. Picture taken January 4, 2013.

Retirees Gene Bloczynski (L) and Eric Vannieuwburg fish from a public dock on the Sacramento River in the Sacramento San Joaquin River Delta in Rio Vista, California September 4, 2013. California water officials have proposed redesigning two water diversion tunnels planned for the Delta, away from several small towns along the Sacramento River that Delta residents said would be threatened under the existing plan. Water from the tunnels would flow to urban areas in the Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and San Diego and farmers in the San Joaquin Valley. Picture taken September 4, 2013.
