question for Alabamans (is that what you call them?)

[AGDee]

I haven't been to Alabama, but one of my best friends had to move from Detroit to Dallas and she said this: "It's not really that different. Either way, you have 3 months of the year where it's miserable to be outside. The pain is, the 3 months of the year in Texas when you can't send the kids outside to play are the 3 months that they aren't in school!"

Dunno if that helps or not.
