Grandpa was also no nonsense too. When I was 16 or so we took my 5 year old cousin fishing with us to a friend of my grandfather's pond. The man had some cows and a low voltage electrified wire fence that ran along the other side of the road from the pond we were in. My cousin, bless his heart, kept going across the road and I kept going to get him to keep him from getting hurt, grandpa a couple times too. We kept telling him leave that alone because it will hurt. But nooooo he kept going over to it. Finally he went one too may times. "Grandpa, Lee's going after the fence again." Long look, long pause from grandpa then "He'll learn" and makes a cast into the water and sure enough about a minute later I see him grab the fence with both hands and go GAHHHHHHTTTTPPPP as he shook and then came running back crying with little red lines on his palms and fingers. He holds his hands up to grandpa and grandpa looks at him and said "Hurt, didn't it." Lee sat there with us the rest of the time we fished and didn't move anywhere near that fence again.

Matt, I especially love your observations on the weather here - and I still get mad when the temps Drop during the Day!!! But at least I know now to have every sweater, coat, rain jacket -whatever!

Yay! I'm that yankee transplant and I ingratiated myself to my new southern neighbors by making them apple butter and a pie. I havent gotten a "bless your heart" or a stare yet! One thing I did notice as a transplant from Maryland is... at least in South Carolina, you can escape the 110 degree summer heat by standing in the shade. That wasnt possible before! So I love the south!

Hello from Knoxville TN. This video is fantastic! Last summer, (pretty sure it was the 3rd one) I was in the DMV waiting. Just being neighborly I asked where everyone was from. There were 4 from California, 2 from New Jersey, and 1 from New York. I did give 1 piece of advice to all the refugees from “California’stan”. -Buy a Bible, a good gun, and learn to love sweet tea.

Humidity? Prepare to feel like you're trying to breath through a sponge.......... You can feel drier taking a shower ........... Out in the desert you sweat it evaporates and it helps your sort of feel a little cooler......... Here? It's already humid so when you sweat you just feel sticker and hotter. But I do love the food, the ability to wear flip-flops in the winter (summer-lite) and calling friends up north in February bragging about my tomato and strawberry plants. About the only serious drawback here in FL, are northerners who come down here and proceed on trying to turn things around and make it like, well, the north. No, I do not want to hear 'Up North, this is how it's done - the right way." "Really, precious? Well, bless your heart, darling" "We'll say 'Isn't that interesting' because that seems more polite than just telling someone where they can stick it"

Born & raised in Portland OR. HORRIBLE rain/clouds Oct thru May but ABSOLUTELY lovely June-Sept. No bugs, nice & dry summer, all the outdoor stuff!!! So, I just moved to TN & while I LOVE the politics & friendliness, the last two summers have had me (and even my DOGS) thinking I MAY have made a mistake. I've never, EVER experienced heat & humidity like this and it's got me wondering how the first settlers to this region, the ones that survived that first summer w/o air conditioning, didn't just. keep going.... This is a serious question I have.

I love this video! My hubby and I moved from Southern WI to Northern Kentucky at the end of Jun. When we moved it was past 95 degrees with a heat index of almost 100. That heat was bad last year. We felt sorry for the crew that we hired because they had to take breaks in the air conditioning because it was so hot and humid. They actually had to call another person to come help so they could get done quicker. Thank heavens for Central heat and air conditioning. We never really had central anything in the places where we lived. I think a few apartments that we lived in had central heat but window units for air. This is the first place where we have both. Seriously do the videos on the different regions.

I’m so tired of this cold and rain we’ve been having lately, bring on the summer! Welcome to Texas btw, I hope you feel welcomed and are treated well.
