I think every state has one Paris

GrimCO since the move do you have the uncontrollable urge to marry your sister?

You may say the crime rate is low, but it near tops in moonshining....

What are the carry laws?

Well, they honor any other State's concealed carry permit. You can carry a gun in your glove box loaded without one. And the funny thing is that in the county I live in, you can walk into the store with one strapped to your hip... LOL

Not yet Mighty1, but I can tell you that crimes are hard to solve here because the DNA is all the same, and there are no dental records

And who can concentrate with all that banjo playing going on?

I recall when I was moving out of Palm Beach County about a week before Hurricane Francis hit...

There were three Uhauls going in to Florida for every one going out...I felt bad for the poor bastages moving down there because I hated life.  95º every single day in the summer, 95% humidity.  Even at night, 85 degrees and godawful humidity.  I lived in a pretty good area too.  Right on the water.  I could think about going fishing, and less than a minute later BE fishing.

I just got back from 2 weeks in Las Vegas...there is plenty to do but it's an island in the desert.  A Palm Beach with no humidity...no thanks.  Columbus isn't bad I tell ya...easy to get around and still enough to do to prevent death due to boredom.  If only there were good aviation jobs to be had here.

Quit my job, packed up the wife and dog, and moved to Kentucky two and a half years ago. Now I live on 8 acres, grass runway in the front yard, deer and wild turkey running across the property, skies so dark I can see the Andromeda Galaxy with the naked eye, and oustanding roads for motorcycle riding.

Had our annual AH squad reunion here last year with about 20 guys present. Rather than the usual hotels, we had a camping extravaganza, and everyone stayed in tents in the back of the property. Shot some clay pigeons in the front yard, no one called the cops. When the beer took it's toll, we just staggered to our tents, no harm done.

Should have moved here 15 years ago, but didn't. Sometimes you just need to decide on something and do it. I'd have been a lot happier a lot sooner :-)

Maybe next year, i'll swing down there for a weekend.  I'll bring a couple of cases of beer.   I live in Michigan and would love to retire to Tennessee (Vols Fan) or Kentucky.

Hey there Karaya!

Even though you're a Vols fan, you're still welcome to stop by anytime and tip a few beers buddy... hehehe  Kentucky's only a few hours away for ya... Come on out, well pop a few rounds off in the front yard, and down a few (not necessarily in that order).

I'd have the shudders and be hurling if I were in NYC, too.

Hey Grimco! Believe it or not, I spent Thanksgiving '79 in KY. (a beet1e-length story) Must have driven right by your town on the way (I-64) and arrived in Frankfort. I was with a friend, and we went into a restaurant for dinner, and I remember that every table had an old fashioned telephone on it, and you could pick up the earpiece and make a call to any other table in the place. Great for pick-ups! Do you know of this place? Is it still there?

I liked KY. I'd been on assignment in Springfield,IL and when I saw Frankfort I thought "Hmmm, brick buildings - reminds me of jollie olde..."

[Meatwad]

A few years ago I stayed in some cabins over in Slade, KY. There was a town drunk there that everyone called "mayor." He was actually nice and he worked for BEER. He would do anything as long as you paid him in beer. Believe he had no teeth either.  I remember driving around and behind every house was an outhouse
