Mild winters, long hot summers. Low cost of living. No state wage
taxes here, sales tax is very high. People are predictable, friendly,
generally overweight. Entertainment is somewhat expensive. The
mountains are beautiful. Great hunting, fishing, hiking. Food is
"southern." Religion and sports important. Pace is slow, can be
backward. Pockets of various "cultures." Pets generally welcome.

Hey Phisherman,

I'd like to know more about life in TN. I've been looking at maybe
buying some land there with the thought of moving. There's nothing
like firsthand knowledge from people who already live there.

I suspect your filter is not doing the job. I use a passive static
filter and clean it once a month. Carpeting, rugs, draperies. pets,
kids, parties add lots of dust. Some vacuum cleaners add additional
dust. Humidity should be 40-60%. You can consider running a
hepa-filter air cleaner. When I lived near the 5 in LA I got lots of
black highway "dust." Now that I live in the TN hills I get yellow
pollen dust in the spring--not a bad trade-off.
