I like Alabama. Hate living in Birmingham and that will never change can't stand this place. If I could live anywhere it would probably be an hour closer to the beach.

I have been to a lot of other places and a lot of other countries. Can't say I want to live in any of them. I have a whole different perspective now than when I was 25 and single. Back then I had a list mostly based on hot wimmens. Bazil was a list topper. Love Montana and Idaho but I can't take the cold weather up there I have been there for long enough periods of time to understand how bad it sucks when nothing thaws out for months on end.

I don't necessarily think that Texas is hotter than Alabama south of Birmingham Everyone says East TX is hot and that's certainly true it's miserable but they get a decent breeze on the Coast and by the time you get to Dallas you are starting to get into drier heat. I've fished Sam Rayburn many times in the middle of the summer. It's hot. But no worse than fishing in Eufaula.
