re: #272 majii

My first teaching job was in Barrow County, GA, and I’d have to go through Walton County to go home to Macon which is in Middle GA. Not much happens in Walton County, so I think the guy was trying to amuse himself. There are some weird people with really weird ideas living in small towns throughout the state. If his “experiment” had been successful, he would have been a local celebrity. Guaranteed.

Georgia sure has a lot of counties. My mother is from Meriwether County. I spent a few weeks each summer there down from Illinois. There wasn’t much to do as a kid besides sell lemonade at the peach stand in front of my grandfather’s house and trade on the novelty of being a “little yankee boy.” No, seriously. People said this.
