Thank you, crescendoofpeace. I grew up in Atlanta...and bailed at 18. So I am somewhat familiar with the south, although idk Tennessee. My brother is in Pensacola, Florida now. No light pollution sounds amazing to me, now. Funny how our values change. I have tried to leave the Bay, but I always come running back. Although, the older I get, and the more I learn and experience of government and capitalism/materialism/corporate facism, the more tempted I am to head 2-3 thousand miles south, along the west coast. A river in the forest in Tennessee with real food sounds pretty good too.
