Howdy & How'ya a doin'? These Texas Translations as they sound like they could easily be terms used way up in Northern Michigan Back-Woods Country. *smile* Especially that term, Hard Drive. I remember one Winter Day when I was North and needed to get back to my home in the City (Southern Michigan - Detroit area). Snow was a flyin' like anything. What normally would have been a 4-5 hours drive turned into a nightmarish over 12 hours drive. Yep! Hard Drive alrighty! Connie
