Sheltonmac, come back South, son! You'll pick up that accent again real quick : )

Because of my accent, I get asked if I am from GA all the time - but I'm 5th gen Florida Cracker. Although, it is an honor to be consider from the proud state of GA.

The article is sadly true, but I'm keeping with tradition. We eat "supper" at my house and directions include "over yonder." I'm over in Ft. Worth, TX this week and it was a pleasure to hear the Southron accents over here - lots of cattlemen and cowboys. Good folk!

And turning left at the tobacco barn on the right, not the other barn on the right mind you, 'about a mile or so down the road'. I still give directions like that. Just irks the non-native visitors
