At the time I’m writing this I’ve been here for exactly five days, and I’m still a little in shock. Seriously, how is it possible to live in a county so beautiful, where the people are so nice? Y’all probably hear that all the time. In both friendliness and outdoorsiness, I’ve apparently got some catching up to do. Forgive me, I’m from New England, but I promise not to drive like I am. Oh yeah — and sorry for Tom Brady, I’ve heard he’s not too popular around here.

All jokes ...
