šŸˆ Say Something Good About Georgia (The State Not The Team)

Got an aunt and uncle that live in Buford. I used to go to Six Flags a lot in the 70ā€™s and 80ā€™s.
I lived in Roswell in the summers in the '80's...hit Six Flags A LOT.

But ONLY when it was raining. My brother and I used to hit that park based on the weather forecast. Rain? No lines. We rode the "Scream Machine" time after time after time...with no wait.
 
If I could pick a place to live on acreage, I would pick either Clay or Randolph counties.
We would go into the county square because they had a seafood buffet there. Decent frog legs. I was struck by a visual one spring day when we drove past a very large, muscular black man in overalls plowing a field (acre or so) with a mule and plow. My family was amazed and I felt like I had been transported to a time when my dad spoke about in his youth. He was born in ā€˜28.
 
Sweetwater State Park. "The ruins" offer a glimpse back into history. As my wife (then girlfriend) said, " It's so wild that I am looking at burn patterns from the civil War." To which I replied, " It's also wild that I, as a fire investigator, have a girlfriend who knows how to properly use the term 'burn patterns' in a sentence"sweetwater-creek-state-park-1248228468-2621e519f9674038a46e38ef49c318da.jpg
 
Fried Onion Ring made of Valdalias are some count.
As I said, I lived in Glennsville, Ga. It was close to Vidalia that it could call their sweet onions Vidalia. I could walk out my back door and pull some up to eat! The thing is I don't like any type of sweet onions. By the way, I watch Sterling Sharpe play football in Glennsville High, maybe his brother Shannon in midget football just wasn't the team I help coach. Both live with their grandparent we live across the street from them.
Worse, I don't really remember them, but my wife did because, she had worked with one of their cousins at a nursing home.
 
I was shocked at the amount of Auburn fans I saw when living in Tuscaloosa.

Thereā€™s a good many. But when I lived in auburn, there was a good amount of Bama fans there, especially in Opelika. I think itā€™s just the way it isā€¦ some of them just pull for the other team to be different when theyā€™re young then end up sticking with them over time. At least thatā€™s been my perspective of it on both ends.
