Skoal or Copenhagen?
Copenhagen.
What is the most common misconception about Arkansas?
Probably that we’re backwoods, down home and out of touch with the real world. As a whole, we’re really not behind on the advancements in technology.
Are you proud that PGA golfer John Daly is from Arkansas?
That’s okay. I’m not really a big golfer. I’ve never seen him around. We’re kind of located in the middle of nowhere.
What’s with your camouflaged phone clip?
That’s just me, man. I enjoy the outdoors.
Are a big-time hunter?
I like to duck hunt a lot. We’ve had several good duck hunting trips.
Do you watch that new reality show, “Duck Dynasty?”
I’ve seen it a time or two, but I’m not going to say I watch it. The father on the show, Phil, taught my mother in high school back when he was a teacher.
Are you a Razorbacks fan?
Not this year. They didn’t do well at all. I don’t keep up with them that much. It’s something to do when there’s nothing else to do. If I don’t watch the game, that’s okay.
How did you celebrate New Year’s?
We had steak for dinner and were in bed by 9:30. I was going to celebrate with a duck hunt but it was raining. I guess I’m getting old because I didn’t want to get out there in the rain.
