Was born in Alabama, and have lived here most of my 47 yrs. I STILL hate summer. You get used to it, but you're not likely to ever enjoy it. As far as the wife goes, point out that (usually) 4 or 5 of the 10 finalists for Miss America are from the Deep South. It obviously ain't botherin' THEM, is it?
Just take care of your guns. All the advice you're getting here is sound.
Be prepared, tho'. People wave to each other down here while in their cars. On foot, they make eye contact, often smile, usually nod an acknowledgement. "Sir" and "Ma'am" from the children. No feigned familiarity displayed to new aquaintances. Words weighed before spoken. There is much to be overcome, but much to be admired.
