Not A Good Idea

Our local scrap man, Mr. Ammons, has a hair brained idea to build a hunting lodge out of metal storage containers. Gordia (pronounced Gordy) told me what his brother had to say about his idea.

He said I was goin out da world backerds.

• In other words, his brother was telling him he was crazy. I can sit and talk to this man for hours, every time I come away with trinket of his Mississippi roots.
