As I said, I was raised in the south. We lived on a dirt road in what could best be described as the swamps of Northern Florida/Southern Georgia. Of 8 kids, the eldest 4 were born in the house and the youngest 4 were fortunate enough to have been born in a hospital. We got our first TV in 1966. I knew what they were as I had seen one before at a neighbors. We didn’t have a phone until then also. We chopped wood for heat and eat, drank and bathed in sulfur water. I would imagine there are few southerners who live today the way we did back then but I have been back there many times and have never seen one. In the south in the 60s, everyone was a redneck.

Boy Howdy. We had that whole Scots-Irish redneck thing going on up in Tennessee.
