Yuck. Tell me, do they still burn "negroes", have tent revivals, and wear white
robes and hoods much in those parts?  Have they discovered the cure for rickets
and pellagra yet?

Northen MO (abutting the IA border) is somewhat civilized.  STL has a distinctly
Southron air about it. South of STL (expecially the Bootheel) is webbed feet and
gunny sacks for clothes territory -- you'll run into the Snopes and the
Clampetts down there....
