I respect all of the people here in Lawrenceburg, TN. but I respect the workers the most. Yea, we have our share of folks who have learned how to live off the system, more power to them, along with the retired oldies like me, but for the most part, everyone here is working.

My neighbor Daniel works seven days a week, as the heating and air genius for Lawrence County's sprawling school system, and then maintaining several big Ice Houses all around, on the weekend.

His wife works in a cookie production plant, on the midnight shift.

Everybody around me in is running in full work mode, or mom mode (a job), or the I'm so fucked up I can barely move, but I really want to go to Krogers mode!

In the evening they all fire up the barbecue, some fire up smoke, and then they slide into party down mode...
