nothing but flowers

Mr. Whirled has a friend in Nashville, and he told us recently that Chattanooga is becoming quite the destination for, as he put it, "granola people" (he is one of them himself). Like Boulder, Colorado, he said. Because folks come to instruct white water rafting and hikeing and just stay put as waiters or baristas. Not saying that would be your career path, of course, but it makes for at least a modicum of a liberal element.
