Once in kimball TN, I am swimming in the thick drawl of the little girl and her gran'pa in in the check out line at Walmart, with her gem polisher, and his well warn Vietnam veteran hat.

Walk back across the giant parking lot, to shoot some photos of the 2 story tall 200' long neon sign for "TENNESSE AND ALABAMA FIREWORKS" the have a huge selection of fireworks, "sambo figurine curios", erect penis sculptures, and confederate flags.

I sit down to write this, Deliverance is on the TV, the south is still alive.
