Just plain good
Here's a purely heartwarming story from North Carolina. Almost makes you think this miserable land will muddle through somehow... if the younger generation can grab power before we finish smashing everything to bits.
Interesting dialect from the female reporter, with glottal stops substituted for medial /t/ in Cockney style. I'd noticed that before in a friend from NC, but didn't know if it was local or purely personal. Must be local.
But what's with the constant use of meters instead of yards? Did Idiot Jimmy's metrication somehow linger in NC? ¶ 7:32 PM
