When people told us at the beginning of our road trip that people in the South are different, we didn’t really know what they meant. But after spending several weeks here, we finally understand.

The hospitality here is just something else. Everyone knows everyone, and it feels like people are living one big shared life. Someone is always stopping by, doors are always open, and everyone is welcome.

One guy told us he hasn’t locked his house in 23 years. When we were out on the lake, we met some people who immediately invited us to their lake house to hang out. They offered us drinks, chicken wings, and made us feel completely at home. It’s a kind of hospitality I’ve never experienced before.

When we got back to the dock late that night, one of the guys on the boat said something that really stuck with me:

“You don’t have to live in some big, exciting city. What matters is the people who live there. That’s what makes you happy. I’ve lived in many places around the world, but nothing comes close to Ocoee, Tennessee. And you know the best part about living here? We’re going to do the exact same thing again tomorrow.”

We will be back.

When I was assistant manager at a restaurant we had a lady who would write a check for her family’s meal (always takeout) then call saying we got the order wrong and she stopped payment on the check. She did that twice and we stopped taking checks from her.

😱 This woman really thought she was going to eat for free…again.

Shes’s there for a seafood dinner when staff walks up and says:

“‘Cause you disputed the last four credit card charges when you came here to eat.”

Her response?

“Why?”

Staff: “Yeah, you thought you wasn’t gonna get caught?”

The “I’m just gonna leave now” + nervous smile shows no shame or character 😂🦞

The audacity is actually insane. She should be sued.

There are no plumbers, no brick layers no mechanics, we do have loads of people who want to have meetings about work, manage work, do spread sheets for work, the education system had created an inverted triangle with all the bullshitters at the top, a serious rethink is required.

🚨#BREAKING: A 14-year-old boy on a bike ride is being hailed as a hero after he SAVED THE LIFE of a grandmother with dementia who was LOST, wandering the road in 103-degree Arizona heat.

The boy stopped, walked her into the shade and then he gently helped her remember her son's phone number and called him.

She has dementia.
She was MILES from home.
He saved her life. ❤️

The 14-year-old's name is Royal Cothrun, from Gilbert, Arizona.

He was riding his bike in triple-digit heat when he saw 75-year-old Teresa Morgan on the side of the road and something just told him to stop.

"She just looked like something was wrong, so I started talking to her."

Teresa was recently diagnosed with dementia, and she'd gone to the grocery store, gotten disoriented, and wandered miles from home in the intense heat.

Royal got her into the shade and sat with her... and patiently, gently, helped her pull her son's phone number out of her memory.

On the video, you can hear him: "Maybe we can try to call him on my phone?"

He called her son. Her son raced over. The fire department got there right after.

Her son's words: "It's incredible what he did. It's so fortunate that he ran across her... and he CARED enough to stay with her."

The fire captain said the outcome "would have been much, much worse" without him.

And his mama? "Super proud, obviously. He was calm. He was compassionate."

She says helping people is just who her boy IS.

The fire department and the Air National Guard are honoring him.

The next generation isn't lost, folks, some of them are out here saving our grandparents.

GOD BLESS Royal Cothrun and God bless the mamas raising boys like this.

THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

President Trump should absolutely give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Amish for their amazing work rebuilding Western North Carolina.

They have rebuilt hundreds of bridges, homes, businesses, and roads... and are STILL HERE!!!

No single group deserves it more.
