We can see it, but not always with the same eyes. It's refreshing to hear from you, Brother. Doubly so because you've shared with us the things we would want to know if we were neighbors in the flesh, not just virtually. May the Lord bring peace for what He's doing with Michelle.
Thank yeeewww. Spoken in the high nasal Hillbilly dialect, I'm more bassier but, I say it thataway like aw shucks but not quite. It's derived from TAGS in "my fair Ernest T". Where Andy tries to pass off E T Bass as a sophisticate. I say it when someone I know does something for me that they didn't have to. It saves face for both people. Aw crap! This gets into the fine grit of mountain culture that baffles outsiders but, we get and can't explain for a bag of wet nickels. I'm trying to wordelize the whole shebang in a way people unfamiliar with our folkways can understand. How do you explain "it's the way it's done". That's where my blog idey originated.
