| 66. Howdy to the Southland! |

I am guilty. Sometimes I get so mad at the politics and the attacks on education in the south that I lump y'all together.
But the Dem Southerners who are fighting against huge odds have my support, love and sometimes some of my money.
I will try to be nicer in the future.
