We have the transfer station also here in Lac st Anne County, you guys get 50 people? This morning there was maybe 15 people all day. We get a swipe card. Plus, the town where my mail box is just hit a whopping 950 people

No, they just randomly hand out numbers I do believe… I know cause one day I went up first thing and was #10… next trip an hour or so later was #83. Unless they just recently changed things… but I don’t think so.

I'm an outsider who moved into this small community. Everyone whose families have been here for generations are either related by blood or marriage, or both in some cases. I fit right in, being a redneck, and all lol.

When you live in one county, and your phone number and mailing address are from another county. Then you know for sure that you're a redneck. One thing I never have to worry about is jury duty. Our town has no post office, police dept. or high school. We do have two gas stations, but that's only because the interstate goes thru our town. We do have 5 seasons - spring, summer, fall, winter and mud. Don't even think about driving a Corvette on most of our roads unless it's lifted. There are times I think I'm the only one in our town without a gun. Target practice in your backyard is a common occurrence.

My mailing address is Richmond because that is the nearest post office.

We have the county sheriff's department and state police for law enforcement.

No gas stations or schools out here.

No gas, no beer .......... more of a tourist trap than anything, anymore. You won't happen by this store along the way to anywhere else as you have to go back the way you came to get back to town.

The man who owns the truck lives next to the store. His brother lives at the old home place a little closer to town. I know both of them. Kinda funny that the brother is the farmer out of the two lol.

I see him going past my barn all the time on it but don't know who he is.

I'm trying my best to "redneck" when I can, but I still speak too "eloquently" and the people 'round here would call that "one of dem big words"! I grew up just outside DC in Northern Virginia and my sixth grade English teacher made our spelling and comprehension tests from Reader's Digest "Towards More Picturesque Speech" segments. So I'm kind of permanently "eloquently retarded" (I'm allowed to say the "R" word, I have a special needs person in my family!). Plus I kissed the Blarney Stone, so I'm doubly afflicted with the speech thing...

But I'm working on it...I'm comfortable now saying stuff like, "'preciate y'all!". We have a road in the city named "Rio". That's how the locals know you "aint from 'round here". If you are a foreigner of this area, you cant help but pronounce it "ree-oh" like the "de janeiro"...but nope, it's pronounced "Rye-oh"! Named for a ridge where General Custer got his arse handed to him a year before the Confederacy fell. You can tell a newbie from a real local just from that pronunciation! And the Rivanna river, where Custer was tasked to blow up a bridge...yep...pronounced "Rye-vanna".

When we moved to Central VA, it was like bieng in an old plantation with some people making the number four in to a two syllable word..."fowa". And saying stuff like, "ova-they-ya" ("over there" for those in Rio Linda). It's kind of endearing country-speak to me now. Many of the waitresses (yes we still call them that) around here still call you "honey", "sweetie" and "sugar". And we have freaking sweet tea! North of Fredericksburg that's a fading commodity...we dont drink sugar ourselves, but just sayin'...

There are times I think I'm the only one in our town without a gun. Target practice in your backyard is a common occurrence.

It's the sound of freedom to me. I wasn't used to that when we moved here either. I didn't even own a gun. Now I have three rifles, two shotguns, 5 pistols, several hunting/combat knives and a pellet rifle! Add that to the axe handle that always stays in my truck, and yea, there's not much crime around here! I leave my truck unlocked and dont even have a lock on my shed. It would be one stupid criminal to try to mess with anyone around here.

We harvest deer, legally, right on the property. Well, except for my dad feeding them it's legal...but he has a sign out there saying the corn is exclusively for squirrels, raccoons and other small animals, any deer violating this rule will be shot on sight!

NJ does that in a number of places; your mailing address is in a different county than where you reside. Maddening. And in some pretty upscale places, too, so not a lot of rednecks.

I've no problem with jury duty, but for over a decade when I still lived in NJ I didn't get to serve...the county corresponding to my address would contact me yearly, I'd explain that I lived in a different county, and I'd be excused. The county in which. lived never contacted me, because they weren't going to mail jury duty notices outside of the county.

This craziness also made it really hard to get UPS and Fedex packages delivered to me in a timely manner. They'd usually spend a day or two on a truck driving around 30 miles away.

We have the same issue in Minnesota. They resolved that by going with driver's license zoning. Works for those on the mailing address.
