Freepers excepted, of course. :-)
Fortunately I was at a rest stop. I ran into several obnoxious people, including one man with a Brooklyn accent, whom I asked for directions and who ordered me to get my hands off his car.
When the tow truck arrived, the driver was so friendly and such a fine man that we wound up going to dinner together; I picked up the tab. We became good friends over a short period of time, stayed at the restaurant talking until almost midnight. He was great, one of the best people I've ever met. I never saw him again after that evening. He is a strong supporter of President Bush; "He's a good man," he said.
There are great people everywhere.
In Western North Carolina, the natives refer to all newcomers, regardless of origin, as "Florida people" or "floridiots". A "halfback" is somebody who moved to Florida, didn't like it, and moved to North Carolina (i.e. halfway back). None of these labels is particularly derogatory; they are considered amusing.
