We lived our little drama

In Alabama, a state that seems to exist primarily so Mississippi has somebody to look down on, it must have seemed for decades that it took everything you could do just to make things go from bad to worse a little slower. A whole lot of people hunkered down and bided their time. They did their work. That’s the story. You hang on, treat everybody right the best you can, and some days you catch a break. So when everything turns to shit, remember you’re not expected to fix it all. But you’re not permitted to just walk away either.
