—”.way too many yankees here talking about how much better it is “ up north”.”

The old family members used to say” But for a couple of miles and a river, we’d been briers.”

The family farm was close to the Ohio river.

That said, many of my friends and family have moved south and no complaints out of the bunch of them.

But they do speak of the hunting, fishing low taxes, and nice neighbors. Here in DuPage County, we have an influx of RABID Chicago liberals.

When I lived in the south I never, not once, heard the term “yankees”. I did hear the term “damn yankees” quite a bit though.
