I've lived in the south over 20 years now and just this past weekend I was caught totally off guard by a language barrier, here in Abingdon, VA!
The girls and I were in Kroger when a woman asked me if I wanted to enter a drawing for "Rice Tickets"... pause on my part, "Excuse me?" and the woman repeated herself, " did I like the Rice?"... again, pause and I replied " sorry? " and with a smile for the third time, the woman asked if I was interested in "Rice Tickets".... my brain worked over time on this one and somehow a tiny light bulb went off in my head remembering the banner's all over town that said " Welcome Race Fans"... oh yeah, the Bristol Sharpie 500 whatever is coming... not Rice but Race.......... yeah, let's hope the girls don't pick up that much of a country accent living this close to Tennessee.

Remember when David first started commuting to Abingdon and was greeted by a grocer checkout girl... "Hair you?"..... How - Are - You ???
