Given the weather, it's no great surprise. The heat here makes me feel pretty looney sometimes. Do people down there spend an inordinate amount of time setting off explosives and shooting guns, like they do here in GA? Originally I'm from NE PA, which is a pretty redneck place. But GA is a whole nother thang, as they say. :) Most people are very nice though, it's refreshing. That obsession with explosions though... Nerve wracking. Never been further south than Alachua, which is actually pretty mellow from what I saw -- but that was in early spring. :) -- caveat utilitor ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫
