Thanks, Bret, I will. 'Cause like I said, I've been there. My arthritis does quite well down here in the warm, muggy, sunshine. I can walk and play my guitar and not have to live on anti-inflamatories.
The small university town in which I live is filled with trees and 50 yards from my front porch is a small pond that abounds with herons and turtles.An easy ten minute walk brings me to a small lake on the campus with alligators and in the winter the trees no the little islands are white with roosting egrets.
We have thunderstorms that seem to be drowning the world and destroying it with wind and lightning.And then it's over and the sun comes back with magnificent rainbows and incredible sunsets.
So, thank you. I'll enjoy the South as I have most of my life.And don't worry 'bout us. We're doin' just fine.
