Sorry, I forgot to add the sarcasm tag.

Yes, all us Uppity Yankees still thinks everyone who lives in Mississippi lives in a log cabin or tin roofed shack with five hound dogs.
They eat racoon and pick cotton. Don’t y’all?

I did get the joke.

After seeing Band of Brothers I posted into all their biographies Shifty Powers fascinated me. He was a sniper. The army didn’t teach that they recognized it. He grew up with a nice family but in the hills. He learned to shoot by shooting every day. Took tips from the elders. He said I’m an ok shot but dad could shoot the wings off a fly. I bet it’s close

He would bring his mother squirrels and she knew how to process them.

I am a New Yorker. Military brought me to the south and my farm boy husband and family got my home into a more outdoors-practical mode, along with my forefront all over the country

And the military taught me how to properly handle a weapon

Considering what this woman did I can recognize her excellence

Last time I saw a snake here it was unwelcome. Husband was above the clouds far from any landing. I jumped over to the neighbor’s, an old VN helicopter pilot, and in 5 minutes I had him, with his snake catching kit, another heavy, now UPS pilot and a slew of kids following like something out of a Hans Christian Anderson story

They wrangled it and asked me what I wanted to do with it would it be ok to walk it to the creek. It was harmless

Sure. Just get it out of here. Off they went in a parade.
