i hope you have a journal of these entries because even though i'm on DU constantly (at least i thought i was), i've missed several states, at least one of the A's and from CA to GA.

that's about it. never been there, loved Ray Charles, have a niece and her family living in the Macon area. hope to take a driving trip through the deep south before i'm done.
i have been there after all, a couple three times, in the Atlanta airport, which is my favorite of all the airports i've been to so far. it's like a great big art gallery.
