I am reminded of the time I stopped at liquor store in Arkansas and there was a visibly pregnant barefoot young woman working the register. There was also a handmade sign. I can’t remember what its exact message was, but there were multiple misspellings amongst the few words it featured.

Sorry for your Mississippi/Southern troubles. I have had similar and also lovely times in MS. Gotta say I once on the same day had my least favorite breakfast of all time (rice with weird and flavorless gravy) and one of my fave desserts (watermelon-citrus-salty-icey-something).

I do find Mississippi underrated. And I love many Mississippians.

And Mississippi does have a lot of cooperatives and anti-capitalist types, even if they don't admit it on whatever social media sites they are allowed to use these days. F-- Tate Reeves, btw. That guy is a chump.

My wife and I stopped for directions at a gas station in North Carolina. (This was in the days before cell phones and online maps.) The nice young man gave us a lengthy explanation of the route. We did not understand a single word. We thanked him and drove off.
