Well Stan, maybe Billy-Joe McAllister in his Federal postman suit, rode his mule offen the Tallahatchee Bridge.
Some of us living up here north of The Medicine Line are more than passing familiar with "the REAL sticks". Up back of Ompah and Snow Road Station (y'all hear dem banjos way off?) they gotta pump air to the mosquitos.
Hope you get your DGJ soon - this issue is another decent read.
I live so far back in the sticks even the Methodists handle snakes....... and, what is a road (Snow Road Station)?
