BIG CHANGE FOR THIS WORLD-CHANGING BLOG...

Hi y'all! Love you all! Kisses and hugs, yada yada yada.

There is a big old change to this blog. I have decided to change the moniker to "Andy's Place." Now, all 7 of y'all that read this blog know that I have referred to myself as "The Urban Redneck." I did that when I created this world-changing blog...because I really do feel like a Redneck boy that got trapped in town. I really do.

But the other day, I was out supervising The Mrs. while she mowed all the grass, ran the weed-eater, the blower, etc. It took her almost all day in the hot, beating down Sun to get finished. Bless her heart, she's just getting slower and slower with all that these days.

The next morning she told me, "Andy, look at your neck...it is as brown as a berry. And look at your arms and legs. Boy, you tan too easy to call yourself a Redneck!" So I did look, and sure enough she was right! After only a few weeks of good supervision of The Mrs. in the sunshine, I am darker than President Obama. And I know from experience that by June, I will be as dark as Michelle.

The Mrs. is right! I've got Cherokee blood. When I lived out in SW Colorado, I would go outside and supervise The Mrs. occasionally. The next day I would look just like an Injun! I finally understood what that song, "What Made The Red Man Red?" meant. By the next day, I would be just as Injun-looking as the Injuns.

I can only remember once in my entire life having a "sunburn." It hurt for about 3 hours, and after I peeled off the white crud from the top, I was brown underneath...really brown...negro brown.

So, I reckon I'm too Negroid/Injun/Cajun to claim that Redneck deal. But Heh!!! I've still got some Redneck ways...and I'll be sharing 'em with y'all. But for now, this is just "Andy's Place."

And everybody is welcome! Unless you're an idiot...
