...and if that doesn't work there is always lining up the trailers along the southern Tennessee border.
I love it! Hard to believe that with all that talk, Tennessee is still a better place (for many of us) than Florida.

It may be better for us but I wonder if it is truly better for a lot of them moving here. Sure, there are people here, like you and me, that finally ended up where we really wanted to be.

But I just don't know about some folks. When I lived in Florida I saw a lot of really angry people. I just chalked it up to living in Florida. I wasn't in a great mood there, either.

But a lot of the people that moved here from there are still really mad; I mean seething through their teeth mad, and the nicer you are to them the nastier they get. I think when you are nice to them they think you are sarcastic. I guess they're not use to people being nice.

Maybe they'll calm down after a while. I think it took me a year to really relax, after living in Florida.
