Given the fondness for liquor int that era, the Lincoln quote probably got him elected.
I was never all that fond of 'Allimoosa'. Their football team played really dirty when
I was a WSC in Gunnison. Delta Cty,, I know for fact has a slack code & you couldn't
more remote than parts of that county. Nice folks for the most part, rural ranchers,
farmers, & off-the-grid organic hippies, but they all get along. A good Saturday
auction in Delta brings 'em all together. People there help each other out. Or at
least they used to. It's been a while since I lived there.
Nucla & Naturita are a little more remote; of course that's Mormon country, but
they're not pushy about it, & They're decent enuf folk.
