I am still living in Southwestern Illinois (in my brother's spare bedroom), but I never did buy a house. However, I did finish writing my book about glimpsing heaven. It should be out by Christmas - hopefully.
I'm still footloose and fancy free, having sold off all my worldly goods, after my near-death experience. However, I do need a home base. It's time for me to move on.
I'm seriously thinking about Tennessee. I've always loved that area. I'd probably take an exploratory trip sometime in December (after the elections - assuming things are calm).
I'd be interested in hearing others' opinions on Tennessee. Is it a good place for retirees? A good place to finish up the final chapter of a life?
Is the governor sane, or is he a lunatic, like Illinois' governor?
Can the police officers still arrest people?
What is the predominant race?
What about castle doctrine laws?
Are there any communes? I'm all about communes for baby boomers. I am a long-haired hippie freak at heart.
Thanks for any insights.
PS. I'm probably most interested in the northern part of the state, and have been looking at houses in Hawkins County.
