I don't know how I missed your thread.

My grandmother's people were farmers. I'll never forget when I was a child, my pristine, quintessentially Southern, Spelman-educated grandmother picked up a mouse when I was visiting her house with her bare hands. At 9, which I think I was at the time, I couldn't believe she touched that nasty thing barehanded and she was like "child, please. This is NOTHING compared to what I used to have to do on the farm when I was growing up."

This is a great opportunity. Thanks for posting it.
