Old Jed? as in:
Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed,
A poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed.
And then one day he was shootin' at some food
And up through the ground come a bubblin' through:

Oil, that is. Black gold. Texas tea...

I've passed the Earl Scruggs Center (the former Cleveland County courthouse) in Shelby NC a few times, but I've never visited it. In a couple of weeks I might have the opportunity to do it.

Old Jed was a gentleman in the original sense. Visiting Mister Drysdale at the bank was polite cover for basking in Miss Jane's unflagging infatuation with male Clampetts. "Shucks!".

Doc: "How much do you drink?"
Me: "Say 5 to six."
Doc: "5-6 is totally fine in a week."
Me: "Oh, in a week. Then about 30."
Doc: "30 beers a week are a few too many."
Me: "Beer counts, too?"

Doctor: "And how often do you exercise?"
Me: "Three times."
Doctor: "What? Three times a week? Three times a month?"
Me: "I said what I said."



Doctor: "OK, it looks like you need to make some lifestyle changes."
Me: "Easy! For, like, how long? A week? A month?"

The caption seems rather harsh. The "Welcome" sign is printed upside down and backwards but not in "mirror writing". I assume it is a deliberate joke since the stack of WELCOME mats are also displayed upside down, as mats frequently appear on doorsteps.

So, take it with a grain of salt, tongue in cheek, a minor joke, an attempt at humor, quirky and risible, but not a harbinger of end days. ;-)
My friend Mathew was a greeter at Walmart. He was a welcome Matt.
