Thanks for all the feedback so far, including the wide variety of it

Well, to start off with I determined I want to live in America -- I love the country, and each time I'm in a different part of it I come to like America even more. As I said before, I'm still not certain of where I'll move, and at any rate I'll be spending some time exploring and trying places out before permanently settling anywhere. I like a lot about southern culture, including the friendliness, informality, individualism, low taxes and property rights, can't forget the accent among many other things, and also of course the warm weather is a draw. I'm looking for a quiet but alive town, a basically middle class place with good neighbors, businesses, schools, etc. Maybe HC is completely off, as I say it's only a temporary thought after some very preliminary research.

Yes, I definitely would like to take some time when I'm ready to leave here, and just drive around, stay in places, experience some of the actual places that I'm turning up and see for myself what they're like and how they suit me.

Ol_Rancher, I've come across some of your posts. You might not find Saskatchewan (or Alberta for that matter) quite the way you imagine them...
And what was that original "yeah right" about?
