    Alabama native. Right there with you. The people changed so much during COVID that we started making plans in 2020 to get out before the next election. We moved this summer. Life is better and I’m no where near as worried about having to shoot someone to protect myself or family.

    I brought a jar of red clay dirt with me. I’ll always miss the woods and creeks I knew.

      Damn I should have brought some of that clay with me too.

      We left 2022 I don’t have anywhere as much money as I did when I lived there but I’m far happier then I was there post COVID. Glad to hear you and your family are safer now.
