Getting Called A Hillbilly - I've been called worse!

Ok, I don't know about you............. but, I found this absolutely hysterical. I'll try to relay this story the
best I can......

Most of you know that I moved out into the country, and I love it here. I thought I could get away from the city,
and the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, and just be sovereign and peaceful. So, I am on 8 acres of land on
this hill out in the middle of nowhere.......... basically.

There are 7 other people that live on my hill, and all of us have 8 to 10 acre plots of land, so, the neighbors are
there, but, they aren't too close. I have what is considered a private road going through my property, but,
the neighbors need to use the road in order to get up to their properties. So, there is a little matter of
road maintenance, which, I am perfectly fine with taking care of, but, there are conflicting 'laws' that the
neighbors have been informing me of.

So, I simply decided to go down to the city hall and ask these burning questions for myself. Being that I live in
a very small town, I can actually walk into city hall and talk to the city planner, commissioner.......... I basically
have access to what ever town official I need to speak to. Hey! Maybe I'll run for mayor........... but, that's a
different topic. :)

So, just to set the setting a bit for you, my hair is up in a bun, and I have a baseball cap on. I'm wearing my
grungiest sweatpants and sweatshirt, and I have an old pair of work boots on. In order for me to do any work in my yard
(which is infested with spiders...... YUCK!), I cover up big time. I wear big boots even if it's warm out. I
don't want any of those spiders on me. It's the one thing I have a bit of a fear of. I'll walk on fire, but, dammit,
don't get a spider near me!! So, anyway, I'm pretty damn grungy walking in to city hall.

I explain to the guy that I'm new to the area, and I need to know some of the laws regarding neighbors and private
roads. I tell him where I am living and he responds to me, "Yeah, I know the area, you are living with a bunch
of hillibillies". I was cracking up inside. This guy has no idea who I am. (Wait till he finds out!! I'm sure
hillbillies will be the least of his worries.) I got this funny smirk on my face as he continued to tell me
about the people that live in the country. And now, I've met my neighbors, they aren't exactly hillbillies. Some
of them are doctors, some are realtors......... I wouldn't consider them backwards or hillbilly. This just
tickled me to death. I started imagining him in womens underwear. I was pretty sure he was wearing some purple
or pink panties as he was telling me that I was a hillbilly. He very possibly might have even been wearing a
lacey camisol as well.

Anyways, I thought you guys might get a kick out of this one. I know I did. I still giggle to myself about it
as I'm cruising about town.
