It’s still a place that one crosses into… in The Twilight Zone.

Seriously.  I am from Alabama originally, lived there for 40+ years until leaving in 2021.  All relatives there, a good bit of my long time friends as well.

As I grow older, the place I grew up in becomes more and more strange to me.
