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.

and scott: which part sounds ‘environmentally sound’? the AC everywhere, or the houses built before the invention of such apparatus? if the latter, i don’t think it was anything to do with the environment as much as they were still figuring out indoor plumbing at the time. if the former, i have to assume you’re cracking wise about so much AC blowing even more hot air into an already hot and sticky environment…

Also, I’m intrigued by the Brotanical Gardens and Face Club, since you already explained the Bro-Barrier. BRILLIANT.

You guys should definitely post a convention schedule so that the fans know where to catch Team Robo throughout the year!
