I mind my own business, treat others well and would help anyone who needed it. So why do I have do deal with this shit? I think it is because I am the only white-collar and they are rednecks.. well, not even true rednecks, they are wanna-be rednecks.. walk around with beer and their shirts off to try to look cool. I just stick out like a sore thumb. I overhear them once in a while talking about me. When I was putting up my fence to keep their dogs and kids out of my back-yard, I should have charged them admission. A group of them quickly sat on the back-porch of my next-door neighbor just watching the show. The handyman of the group making comments.. I could hear a little of it.. about how ignorant I am about building the fence and snickering. Well.. I did a damn good job, the fence is straight, strong and now I can work on projects and BBQ without being stared at. And its not like I am a city-slicker or anything, I am the hardest worker I know and when I am not at work working, I am working in the yard or working on a project, or working on my degree so I can get my ass out of here. These folks watch TV all day after working 4 hours a day. My other next-door neighbor does not get along with anyone and sometimes finds my backyard a good spot for throwing chicken-bones and cobs or corn after their cookouts. The other end of the road has real rednecks who have turned their yards into a used car lot. They don't get along with the wanna-be rednecks or me either. One even owns a small tractor yet does not have a farm (and lives on a mostly wooded lot) and rides it around for fun. Well, at least I don't get as many rude comments out of those folk.
