That's pretty much my attitude as well.I grrew up here,my family is all here and I'm comfortable with the area.Not with the *people* but with the *area*.Also,there's no way that I could take the summers there.I once went to Florida in October and thought I was gonna die from the humidity.And I like to live in a place that has four seasons.
Actually we have four seasons in S.C. but almost no snow; when it does snow (no accumulation) they close the schools and all the milk and bread disappears from store shelves.
Summers can be hot although this is the mildest July I’ve seen in years (85 today’s high); I think the whole global warming artifice is collapsing under the evidence.
No family here but I like the people; I hear `please’ and `thank you’ several times daily.
