1) What does the New York Times think that they understand about Alabama? Brandon Kirby scoffs at you, and not the nice kind of scoffing either.
2) What's counterintuitive about Boat's in trees? Obviously in your small world you've never watched "Fist of the North Star" - Ocean liners in skyscrapers
3) Of course the biggest problem is that the photograph is of a boat... not in a tree. I'll edit:
To understand a little about this small crustacean nine months after Hurricane Katrina, you have to accept a bit of cocktail sauce at the counter and stick the shrimp fork into it. I've had better: Look at this photo of a boat on the grass!
