I'm moving to South Carolina next week. Done with Crook County taxes and the fucking never ending winter - it's 34 degrees with a brisk wind right now. The summer is gonna suck balls down there, but I'm moving to the upstate area that's an hour from the mountains where it is routinely in the 70's in summer and trying to walk my dog with a two year old in tow is getting really fucking old. Bought a new 3200 sq ft 5/3 house with a yard and two car garage for two fucking eighty and the property taxes are $1400 a year in a good school district. Will obviously put a damper on my ability to make it to Hox games, but oh well. Had an opportunity in Cedar Rapids but my wife cratered that shit. A little bit sad to leave Chicago because there's definitely plenty of shit that I'll miss, but I really, really, really hate the winter.
One of my best friends from Illinois moved down there 8 years ago and has been trying to get me to move for years and after watching my son cooped up all winter I finally bit. Also have some family down there. We had 50 some people at our condo last night for an impromptu going away party and it was pretty sad, but on the flipside I won't be a crank bitch at a giant law firm anymore WHOOOO HOOOOO! The people at my church were pretty bummed, too, bince the Lutheran church doesn't have very many members who aren't over 60 anymore, but they'll live.

Good luck. Stop by and say hi to plastic man on your move. Also, you should have picked a state with fucking edibles.

Too each his own. I can’t stand the heat and love the snow and I was bummed Saturday when that storm in Iowa didn’t dump 8”of snow up here in Rochester like it was supposed to.
I can’t imagine moving south for the political climate.
3200 sq ft house for 3 people? Are the in laws moving in? I’m guessing it’s complete with low knobs, high BTUs and an outdoor shower? Guess there’s enough room if we decided to have a Wasteland reunion?
Congrats on getting out of Chicago. You’re probably saving money and can go visit whenever you want.

No they wont, but they will be dead soon anyway. Souf KKKarolina would be cool. Kind of a cross between racist shitbag cracker and hillbilly. You should fit right in there. You are prolly fine in your planned community but I don't know if Ma should leave the house alone after dark. Japanese ain't as bad as Mexican or Muslim but it ain't white either. |

Fuck the political climate in Illinois. Yes, I got a decent sized house. Been living in cramped quarters in cities for almost my entire adult life and I'm fucking done with it. It's 3200 sq feet, but there isn't a basement, so we'll use 2 BRs for me, Ma and the kid, one for a guest BR, one for Ma to put in her yoga and meditation room and one for me to put in an office and model building space. The boy gets the bonus room as his play room. It is weird not having a basement, though. Nothing down there has a decent basement, but they got worse radon than Iowa and the ground is a red clay, so they just build everything on slabs. |

When you grow up with one you just figure that’s the norm but lots of places, especially down south don’t have one. Better build a tornado shelter! Having lived in cramped quarters for so long means you don’t have as much junk. That will change. |

My buddy is arranging a trip for the second Bristol race and Darlington. I hit Atlanta a few weeks ago when I was down there interviewing. Gotta figure out how to get to Talladalega as well. My cousin works at Clemson and has said she can land me tickets for any of their games as well, but I think I might become a Cocks fan just because it rhymes with Hox and will be easier to remember. |

Luckily, there are very few proles in the greater Greenville area, so you should be happy there.

My aunt and uncle have a house that's prolly worth somewheres between a mill and a quarter and a mill and a half but right outside the entrance to their subdivision there are a bunch of houses that look like they should be on the show Hoarders. I have a visceral hatred of HOAs but as I looked at places without them it was a pretty similar scene - '79 Monte being parted out with a 350 hanging off a repurposed swingset as the neighbors. So I bit the bullet and went HOA. |

Realtor thought I was a madman and has been a realtor for 12 years and said he didn't even know what that stuff was and that he'd never seen anyone request it let alone read it. I told him my current HOA has a $3 million issue and threatened litigation so he can bet his ass I'm reading those fucking docs. |

You should call up GarBar and see if you can get a home and home with Clemson scheduled.

If through some miracle Iowa managed to beat Clemson down there, I would be worried for my safety leaving the stadium. I was there when they lost to Syracuse or BC or whoever that shitbag team was and you'd have thought JFK had been shot based on the mood there. |

It's good to remind them that their state and their school is trash though. |

It's good to remind them that their state and their school is trash though. Speaking of trash, that day I went to CR to interview I stopped at SoCo over to Mt. Joy en route. There was this woman who was probably about 5.5-6 months pregnant with some protrusion hanging off her asshole wearing a fishnet body suit to try to hide her obvious pregnancy. Her teeth looked like corn. I was up on sniffers row pumping money into the local economy like I always do and of course she comes over, does her dance, then proceeds to ask me if I need some company later in the evening. Now I had purchased 4 cans of Coors Light at the bar next door and I was only halfway through the second can, but my god, I damned near puked. I slammed the remaining beers and buzzed the fuck out of there before she made her next trip to the stage. You roll into SoCo solo whilst wearing a suit and you have some interesting convos. |

So to sum it up, en route to a job interview, you pulled off the highway to go to a strip club, alone, in the middle of the day. You then chugged 4 beers (before a job interview and a 90 minute drive), after being solicited by a pregnant prostitute.
There are two possible explanations here:
1. You're spinning us bullshit.
2. You didn't choose South Carolina, South Carolina chose you.

I've been at SoCo around opening time because one time I was probably a hair over the legal limit to drive and I wanted to sober up a touch, so I stopped at SoCo at like 4 or 5 after a Hox game. There were only two dancers and it was fairly light inside. Me and my buddy were the only ones in there. It was hella creepy. |
