you know you're in the middle of nowhere in the south when...
1. Roads are named after people - John Elsmore Road, Justice Branch Road, Dennis Ferry Street
2. Your cell phone doesn't work. At all.
3. The closest supermarket is the local Piggly Wiggly.
4. The closest supermarket is 20 miles away.
5. You can see all the stars (and even vaguely make out the Milky Way) in the night sky.
6. People call you "ma'am" even though you are not nearly old enough to be called ma'am.
7. Intersections have their own names.
8. The two closest things to your log cabin are the bait shop and a Baptist church.
9. There are more double-wides per square mile than pick-up trucks.
10. Did I mention your cell phone doesn't work?
