The whole sunburn thing is why Amy's Dad faces a constant battle with skin cancer. He has had more growths removed from his skin than everyone else I know combined! As for the chainsaws, if you enlarge the photo, you can actually count 12 or 13. When you spend a lifetime with wood as the sole means to heat your home, you accumulate alot of saws over the years!Jack Thyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742565089135399852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447020570455784314.post-58263452477980998672010-09-13T18:25:24.506-04:002010-09-13T18:25:24.506-04:00Sorry got carried away on that!

I find it funny that we all have our idea of where a redneck originates from....I am from Vancouver, Wa but have been in Montana for 30 years....in movies and in print rednecks seem to be from down south...Why?<br />What really constitutes a redneck? A hillbilly? A cowboy? hmmmm food for thought!<br />I took a picture a few weeks ago that to me showed a redneck....my brothers friend had made a trailer out of a little truck and for the tail gate on the trailer to hold in a load of firewood they used tree branches....a Montana redneck if ever I seen it!Tracy Dalkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447020570455784314.post-38593428434141991832010-09-13T18:20:20.574-04:002010-09-13T18:20:20.574-04:00One of my brothers HATES the term "redneck&qu...One of my brothers HATES the term "redneck" which was coined by rich southerners as a pejorative to refer to working class whites who had sunburned necks from working in the fields all day. In fact, if you were to use that term around this particular brother, he would likely knock the crap out of you, or at least goad you into a fist fight.<br /><br />Ten chainsaws, though. Damn!
