Shortly after I got stationed on the panhandle of Fl my mother came down to visit from up north. As I was driving through my neighborhood she said "a lot of your neighbor's last names start with A don't they?".
I asked her what the hell she was talking about and she said "all the little flags everywhere with an A on them, that's their last name right??"
I said no mom, that's for Alabama. It's a thing down here.
Welcome!
No sir, that must have been a different one of us.You're not the same Ricketts I knew at Eglin are you?
