Too grumpy? :-)
He was from around here, over east a bit in Marshville. A significant percentage of the local population here are Helms.
Yahbut...to me, he was the very worst of the South. I have family that fought on both sides of the Civil War, and when Helms got on his soap box, I couldn’t watch. He was an embarrassment.
But that’s just me. I’m sure lots of other people thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Only God knows what he was for sure, so I need to shet mah mouf!
And he's doing “my” room in “Western” theme complete with knotty pine headboard for the bed, and cactus/coyotes for wall border. I have no clue what he's going to put on the floor, but I told him there needs to be at LEAST one frog in there!
