A lot of the people in Appalachia live in trailers. With the warm weather, you'll notice an interesting thing about a lot of these trailers. They keep their doors open. I understand being poor and not having air conditioning, but in that case wouldn't you open a window, or put in a window fan? No, the windows stay firmly shut with the curtains drawn. The only source of air into the house is the open doorway, which for some reason is never used with a screen. When it gets really hot, the occupants of said dwelling will wander out onto the porch, and it's a common sight in the summer months to see the locals sunning themselves on the porch.
It reminds me of a nature show with the animals sunning themselves in front of their cave. Than or a caveman movie. You have to wonder whether these people are just so crime conscious that they are uncomfortable with windows that open (closer inspection would reveal a lot of them nailed shut), or whether they really can't handle more than one opening in a dwelling and they are trying to recreate a cave. It just seems so primitive.

Hillbilly Law
I like that title. Hillbilly Law. There should be a reality show with that name. It would probably be a huge success.
Apparently, Clinton county, Kentucky, has a new deputy sheriff. Sheriff Jim Guffey took his 10 year old son with him to serve an arrest warrant. I can understand taking your 10 year old son on a ride along. Clinton county isn't that dangerous. Dressing him up like a deputy and taking him to serve an arrest warrant on drug charges seems to be crossing the line of common sense. Letting him sign the prisoner into the local jail seems to imply a lack of any brain activity whatsoever. I really don't know why the jailer deputy who let the paperwork get signed and the sheriff aren't out of work, but this is Kentucky and no one cares. Then they wonder why all the drug dealers move to Clinton county. I keep imagining officer Cartman on his Big Wheel.
Respect my Authoritah!!!
