I escaped the Houston area a year ago. Now retired living in the country on a dead end road in NE Alabama.
Good for you. We love to visit Alabama. Read the article about the fourteen year old from there that developed a machine to dispense first aid supplies. Understand someone offered him $30M for the patent which he turned down.
As soon as the youngest grandson gets through high school we are probably out of here but headed for the Hill Country.
NE Alabama is a great place. I remember fishing with my dad at Lake Guntersville back in the 1970s. Good times.
