#3  They still have people in the hills that have never "been off the mountain", rednecks driving around with their shotguns. The wealth is unusually distributed, with shacks and naked barefoot chilluns playing on junked cars next door to a large brick mansion with new pickups. I once read the biggest cash crop is pot and of besides the homebrew, cooking meth quite profitable. It's scary to just drive through the area, minding your own business, as they will escort you into the next state with guns cocked, let alone door knocking.

Typically, in such cases, the body fat tends to leak from the skin pores, forming "icicles". And, of course, the insects...

#1  When Bill Sparkman told retired trooper Gilbert Acciardo that he was going door-to-door collecting census data in rural Kentucky, the former cop drew on years of experience for a warning: "Be careful."

"Even though he was with the Census Bureau, sometimes people can view someone with any government agency as 'the government.' I just was afraid that he might meet the wrong character along the way up there."
