been thinking about

[PalsPal]

I guess I'm a stick in the mud, as I don't even entertain the thought of leaving Tennessee before or after retirement to live elsewhere. I plan to stay here and stick it out till the bitter end.

This

My question would be why? Even if I didn't have family, kids, and grandkids, the thought would never enter my mind.

You know who started all the Polack jokes?
The nazis.
You know why?
Because the Pol's didn't take fascism hiding in a corner. So the nazis started smearing their name by trashing them.
Sound kinda familiar?

Exactly, then the captured all their smartest physicists, engineers and scientists to work for the Nazi effort. Made jokes that they were no more educated Pollock’s in Poland. Poland were tough folks That never gave up.

My Wife and I have been talking about this same thing (not too seriously though) There's a member of TNDeer who resides in St. Thomas so perhaps he will chime in.

I hear you! Whenever my wife brings up the idea of moving, I tell her my next move is in a pine box!

That quote could apply to many places in the US.
Edit- The Polish army was optimistic. September 1, 1939, the Polish horse cavalry engaged the Panzer divisions at the border.

My home is here in the mountains of southeast Tennessee! I couldn’t fathom the idea of living anywhere else!

Last I heard a couple years ago there were so many ex-pat Americans in New Zealand taking the good paying jobs, they cut off immigration from the US.

When I said “home” I didn’t really mean a structure. Lol. But no, my house and land will never be for sale either!
