On with the ShowMe

I am now (for the next number of months) a resident of the greater St. Louis area in Missouri (a.k.a. the Show Me State). I'm getting settled in and starting to become familiar with the area. I'm noticing some differences between Wisconsin and Missouri already. Believe me- it didn't take long to realize that the weather is warmer and the gas is cheaper. Both of these things I will not deny being happy about. I hear that there will be some new terms for me to learn while I'm here. I will keep you updated as I learn them. Lesson one: a hoosier is not necessarily an individual from Indiana... Here, a hoosier may also be a redneck or some other form of hillbilly-ish folk. Interesting indeed!
