And now for a contribution of humor:

When we first moved to Howard County, I enjoyed scouting the area. One day I came upon a farmer and his pretty daughter selling wares from their farm at a roadside stand. I stopped, bought some produce, and introduced myself.

The farmer introduced himself as one of the Warfields, then the young lady said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Amalysinita."

I said, "Isn't that a rather long name for such a pretty lil' girl ?"

The farmer scowling replied, "Listen son. We're not city folk. We got the time."
