I would have missed it. Isn't it interesting how Georgia has had so much trouble with their northern border for so long? 200 years ago they tried to get out of paying Andrew Ellicott for his survey work, because they were not satisfied that the line he ran included as much territory as they would have liked! I think that when the Georgia legislature tried to rekindle a border war with North Carolina in the 1970s (?) it was a joke. There's nothing funny about running out of water, though,so it shouldn't be a surprise to see yet another border dispute. OK, in spite of all my "salt and vinegar" can I be the first to tell you how glad I am to see this site. There's a "right-winger" out there named Thunder Pig, and he's been blogging this neck of the woods tirelessly for a long time (I've tried to encourage him - and he's been a great encouragement to me - even though we don't share the same political views.) I TRIED to kick the blog habit, but I've fallen off the wagon. And through it all, I knew that these communities we all love DESERVE more representation in the blogosphere. There are just so many great stories to be told, and a thousand ways to tell them. You've survived a rather fierce "initiation" from one crazy, obnoxious, (shrill?) blogger. But I want you to know just how much I welcome and appreciate what you're doing. Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing this story. I would have missed it.
