If the South has a pulse, you can feel it in Covington, Louisiana

The distinctiveness of southern culture is not what it was years ago. I grew up there, lived that soul when I was a kid and wade in it often as an adult. It's not dead, that is certain. You can still find it thriving in places like Covington.

Clips of conversations from a table of ladies overheard during lunch yesterday....

Suzie was going for surgery, they had a big prayer meeting for her at church. Surgery has been postponed, those prayers must have worked....

That dressing makes the whole dish...

for Thanksgiving I"m making the Peanut Butter pie, the coconut creme is the one I gotta stay away from....

Here's your check, God bless you guys....

They were gonna buy a house until the agent got real smart with 'em....

Does Joey go to ya'lls church...

I owe you sixteen cents....

He's on a waitin list for a liver. Brother Carl says you can get one out of state, but not here....

how you doin today ladies....

you might find one of those old nutcrackers there.....

you know who makes the best Almond Joy candy? Shirley...

do you remember Maria? She's a preacher now. She carries a pistol with her and says Jesus wants her to....
