This is the Alabama of my childhood.

From my birth until I was 13, nothing had changed in the years after these photos were taken.
Then, "progress" came a-callin.'

Sylvia, thanks for the metric info. It does get a tad chilly in the winter, then, doesn't it? However, it's still much warmer than our -30°C/-22°F that seems to stick around for an awful long time between December and March every year.

Scully, it gets cold here in the winter, it just doesn't last too long.
LOL.

Only Alabama...
Two boys are playing football in a vacant lot when one of the boys is attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the first little boy rips a board off a nearby fence, wedges it down the dog's collar, and twists, breaking the dog's neck and killing him instantly.
A reporter, who happens to be strolling nearby, sees the incident and rushes over to interview the boy. "That was the most incredible act of bravery I've ever seen!" the reporter exclaims. He whips out his notebook and furiously scribbles the headline: "Young Bama Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal!"
The little hero sees this and says, "But sir, I'm not a Bama Fan, I'm an Auburn Fan!"
The reporter looks warily at the boy for a moment, then flips the page and begins a new headline: "Little Redneck Kills Beloved Family Pet" -

Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.
I would have a real problem with this. Isn't that what car windows are for?
