on a lighter note...

We have have some of that in PikeCounty Illinois but tend to lean more towards the classic Missouri accent, we’re just across the river.
Once me and three buddies traveled to Minnesota to do some fishing, on two occasions we were asked if we were from Texas. And I’ve been asked in other parts of Illinois I’ve been asked if I’m from the south.
People actually from the south sound southern to me. It’s amazing how a few hours of travel can change the accents and dialects.
Being born and raised in Chicago and having a distinct Chicago accent then I moved to Minnesota, I had no problem understanding the locals but everything I said sounded like an old Al Capone movie to them

You can get further with a kind word a smile and a gun than just a kind word

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
