Heading Out!

I'm heading out to Hillbilly Country, y'all! Yeeeehaw!! Those of you in distant locations might have the mistaken impression that Kansas City is already a hillbilly haven, but you are mistaken! We are (for the most part) hillbilly-free. Unless you go to KCK (Kansas City, Kansas), you are very unlikely to see a single hillbilly.

It suddenly occurs to me that perhaps "Hillbilly" is an insensitive, politically incorrect term. However, most hillbillys revel in their hillbilly-ness and indeed, make a buck or two just for being hillbillys. It must take some effort to be a hillbilly, therefore, I make the personal declaration that "Hillbilly" is not a derogatory term.

I'm hoping to find some Mueller Weiss out thar in hillbilly land. A certain friend of mine would like to try it. The other thing I'd really enjoy is to NOT GAIN ANY WEIGHT. I'll be damned if those Silver Dollar City smoothies don't have 1,000 calories per ounce. I learned that the hard way the last time we were there. I hereby resolve to avoid strawberry smoothies at all costs. I'll report back to y'all when we get back. Y'all hear? (Just practicing up on the local dialect, y'all.)
