Thank you for the warm welcome everyone, it is very appreciated.
Raoul I think Bernie has some very good ideas, he has also supported the rights of gun owners. I am just not sure how Bernie would deal with foreign issues.
Btq96r the summer weather will certainly be a big change, I hear it is quite hot and humid there, here in Northern Vermont (20 miles from the Canadian Border) I think it has only been over 90 degrees a couple of times, and not overly fond of muggy weather. On the upside, I hear Spring and Fall in Tennessee are like in Vermont, and I don't feel too bad leaving the below zero weather and multiple snow storms behind. I hear it is much more affordable in Tennessee, the taxes here make it almost impossible to live here. Is it hard to get a pistol permit? We live just across the lake from New York, and I have some land over there. There gun laws are quite strict and their permits are very hard to get, I have not even tried, have to leave my handguns at home.
Ugly, I will try to stock up on the Maple Syrup!
