re: Connecticut is actually a pretty state. Alabama on the other hand...

Living in the north east in winter surrounded by Uber liberal Yankees or summers in Bama surrounded by gumps?

That’s a no win. Fishing is better in Bama and the cost of living is lower but the summers are hell vs better hunting with a better standard of living and the summers are hell.

I’ll stick to mild summer and doable winter with moderate everything else in east Tn.
