I’ve Always Wondered…

….why sometimes I’m so darn longwinded!

“In the South, the breeze blows softer…neighbors are friendlier, nosier, and more talkative. (By contrast with the Yankee, the Southerner never uses one word when ten or twenty will do)…This is a different place. Our way of thinking is different, as are our ways of seeing, laughing, singing, eating, meeting and parting. Our walk is different, as the old song goes, our talk and our names… Nothing about us is quite the same as in the country to the North and West. What we carry in our memories is different too, and that may explain everything else.” – Charles Kuralt in Southerners: Portrait of a People
