I've temporarily reloated to Iuka, MS; just over the border from So. Tenn and NW Alabama.
I am seriously suffering from cultural shock! WTF is going on with all the dead armadillos, not to mention cotton mouth water snakes which are so agressive they'll chase you down and wierd orange wasps that cause your flesh to disintingrate if stung? Then there's fire ants and coyotes and tornadoes and the paper mill that spews toxic fumes...
And nobody understands me when I speak. Don't these people have tvs? I can't be the only non southern voice they've heard.
HELP!
Is there such a thing as culture here? Any writers nearby? At least after two months I've been able to get online again. Thank goodness!!
