omg, am I the only genuine yank? or as we like to say around here.... native, or old timers, ones that actually belong here, and yes, we refer to everything below massachusetts as the south, and anyone from massachusetts, new york, rhode island and pennsylvania as flat landers, and anything west of new york "out west", yes, we are a cliquie bunch up here, and not all that nice to outsiders unless you grew up here, or married into someone's family that grew up here.......and we do get kinda snotty.....but then there's the nice redneck group......the four wheeling, jeeping, snowmobile riding, hangin out with the family on weekends because we enjoy it not cause we have to kind of thing......we DO have really pretty autumns......
