[G.R.I.T.S.]

I do the same thing, but it's just how I was raised. But to your point about "us against them," it was never more prevalent as when I entered the master gardener program many years ago. Back then, those from south Sumter pretty much despised those volunteers from TV. I bridged the gap with several of them, as we share a common southern heritage, but there were some that just were intolerant of us. What's funnier is that some of "them" were transplants from areas north of here but felt infringement into their rural lifestyle. I totally understand and empathize. But life's too short, especially at this stage! Just smile & go on.
