Go to South Georgia my friend. There you will find Arizona level heat combined with humidity that is at least three times anything you could experience in the Carolinas. Not only do your fingertips melt onto your steering wheel, but your flesh melds with the air. The border between your self and your environment gets very hazy in a South Georgia summer. The air surrounds you like a pillow soaked in warm milk that is being pressed lovingly (but firmly) over your mouth and nose.

But the people are truly friendly. They’ll talk to you in the grocery stores, they won’t avoid eye contact in public places. They’ll tease you for you accent.

It’s the place of my birth, and (God help me) I love it.

That said, I live in Tennessee now.

Any chance you guys are going to be at San Diego? Scott, would be cool to get a sketch if you’ll be there.

Love the book.
