Well done Perry.
I have to say.. I have lived in the south, Mississippi, ALabama and Florida. I have lived in California, from SanDiego to San Fransisco, I have lived in Southern Maine, and I have, and now do again live in Iowa.. You have no accent! It IS them other folks who talk funny! Folks around here love to talk to my wife because of her Maine accent. I spent 17 years getting harassed because of MY accent when I lived in Maine.. Now I do really enjoy it when folks harass her about hers!
I enjoyed the radio talk, and I see what you mean about not having enough time.. Basic fast answers... about something that needs to be spread out and explained.. That would have driven me up a wall. Well done!
