Well, I'm a guy (an old guy to be sure) with a wife ( I love her dearly, but she annoyingly tries to disrupt my summertime karma ) and I as stated I like staying close to AC and TV during the summer. I love the fall and spring and may even like winter better than summer.

What Should We Do Next Weekend 7/25-7/30
Wife & I are in tri-cities next week, looking for an area to retire. Anything special going on that we should see? I'm referring to time sensitive things. Thanks to this forum I have lots of things to check out that are there year around.

Hiking and rock hopping along the local rivers. Going to Jonesborough in the late afternoon and evenings to walk around to all the different local shops. There is a bunch of stuff to do, just depends on your likes and dislikes I guess.

Yes, you will find all of those things at the Bristol, Kingsport and Jonesborough flea markets, along with plants, fresh veggies, puppies, kittens, swords, baby clothes, computers and accessories....you name it, and you will probably find it at a local flea market! hahahahaha  |
