49% Yankee... is that good or bad, since I'm a born-and-bred Southern

Some'a the first folk settled in the West wuz farmers fum Ohio and

Pennsylvania and sech .. but most wuz disenfranchised Suthran soldiers

following the War of Nawthen Aggression. So they spect mebbe them folks

out West speak a bit like Suthran folk do. ;-)

in the mountains down home you ain't got no trout .. got beeg mouth

bass, catfeesh, crappy, bluegills and carp .. but our creeks do sing.

We call that a run off .. or maybe a swamp .. but most folks down home

say they got a crick in their neck when they got stiff neck fum looking

up in a tall tree waiting fer thet squirrel to show hisself again.
