From Temperate Georgia

Where I have seen a great many things.

Air conditioners desperately held up by wooden posts. The World of Coke, the soda.

This is a place where there’s an extra “ee” sound to my first name. A place where my girlfriend ceases speaking the English as God intended and suddenly unearths an accent that she hasn’t used for many years.

A land of Waffle Houses and Wiggly Piggly. I am below that line where when you ask for an “iced tea,” it automatically comes with my week’s allowance of sugar.

Yes sir, this is Atlanta.
