The voice of my mother that I hear is, "Both of you [i.e. as well as the sister I was fighting with]! Go to your rooms!". It was torture for my gregarious sister; heaven for book-loving me.
G'day Whimsey. Welcome aboard. Everything I know about Appalachia I learnt from Bill Bryson's
A Walk In The Woods, and I've forgotten most of that (or, at least, filed it down some back alley).
Cheers,
