Haha! I wonder if you would find my rednecks more tolerable, and I yours? I'm sure the newness would wear off in a few months, but might make for a nice program: The Redneck Relief Program. We can just trade homes for a few months now and then to get a break from our own rednecks and learn to dislike ones in other cultures. I will definitely bring my hammer for the pipes :D

maybe they help ants cross the road

Haha! I'm sure these guys would love to be known for their compassion toward ants:)
