Like Marswolf, that's me "backards and forards"

Everywhere I have ever lived, (4 different metro areas) people always talked about distance in terms on time it takes to get there.

I have never heard the coke thing around here but I did hear it in Texas once.

Learned all about fire ants in S. Fla.

Still the bit is pretty fun and true too.

FYI in Mn, they don't serve tea in the winter time...they say its "out of season". myself and a fella went to eat one cold morning ahd the waitress didn't have any tea when we asked...the other fella said "hey, you want to make us some tea?" the waitress replied "but I'd have to make a whole gallon"....

I looked at him, and he looked at me and he goes "that'll be a bit short, but we can live with it."

she wouldn't do it...she doubted we'd drink it all I guess.

I have never seen cold temps in Tennessee--just cooler than normal. I can relate to all that was said being from Tennessee. All you need to do is to live out here in the "Flatlands" for a while and you realize how much you can miss some place that much. I only make it back to the Boro a couple times a year and I cherish every minute that I am there. Enjoy the south!
