Smitty, I heard Barney has addition 'speed bumps', but I'll defer to your' State Officials knowledge'......hard to tell with so many Massholes around! You can't go to northern Maine, too cold.......I could see if there are any opportunities in Alabama or Mississippi. Arkansas interest you at all? Rural Georgia? Like boiled peanuts? Possum stew....grits.....road kill cafes? Want a pet gator?
I think you would love some of the small towns north of Chattanooga and east of Nashville and south of Knoxville. You wouldn't know you moved except for the improved mental state.
