Because they have NEVER BEEN IN TENNESSEE! They are mostly all brainwashed, stereotyped and prejudgeing.
How do I know? I grew up in upstate New York and Maryland. I moved down here thinking I'd find bigoted people. I soon found out the only one that was bigoted was I!!
Been here 14 years and love it! You can fish all-year 'round. YOu can golf almost all year also.
The fall is AWESOME here. Supposed to 73 here today. I spent the day yesterday cutting and splitting wood for the 'winter'(middle to late January and beginning of Feb).
Many winter days I spend fishing Caney Fork. I MIGHT have to crack a little ice near the shore to get in the stream and maybe dab the rod in the water to de-ice the guides. But by mid-day it's about 50 and very comfortable and the trout are hitting!
But as nice as Fall is, the Spring is better. Come March spring is here............TO STAY!! We open our pool in late April and close it in October!
Now you can argue about the 6 weeks of hot summer if you want. But it more than makes up for the 3-6 months of winter they get elsewhere!
Yup. I have learned a lot about how I was brainwashed as a kid thinking southerners were a certain way. Believe me.......................it's BULL ****!!
