Well, I'm lucky in that I'm retired and don't have to be out amongst the 'natives' too much. I encounter them when I go grocery shopping or whatever, but rarely otherwise. We have six acres out here in the Boonies with no neighbors to speak of so I've been enjoying it.

You have to understand that I spent 32 years living in southeast Pit Of Life, I mean Alabama (off and on) so compared to that shithole state/area--Kentucky is a paradise. At least there's no fire ants and I can garden and enjoy the outside and gardening. I couldn't do that down in hell, I mean Alabama.
