The David Letterman top 10 differences between Georgia and the US

Hi folks,  all is well here, just busy but I promise to blog more soon.  But these are just a collection of odd facts or funny differences between Georgia and the US that I have been collecting. Enjoy!

Number 10:  PEDS are in!
Number 9:  Hair conditioner made with garlic
Number 8: Balsamic vinegar advertised to put on ice cream
Number 7:  (and I love this) Tarragon flavored toothpaste
Number 6:  Someone on the bus with a ringtone of  "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" when it's 112 degrees out
Number 5:  the English on t-shirts worn by older women... if they only knew what they said! Holy Cow!



Number 4:  Great dress styles! But expensive and not many discount stores



Number 3. These yellow pipes are gas pipes and they go throughout each neighborhood by the front gates. Can't you just see your 16 year old with driver's permit trying not to hit them backing out of the driveway?



Number 2. The cemeteries are beautiful. They capture a photo of the deceased on the headstone. I think it is a loving testament. and like NC, they have cemeteries anywhere and everywhere. 

and the #1 difference... at least this month is...




The Georgian lawn mower. Isn't this smart! Compact, easy to use!  Might even get some males into vacuum cleaning!

That's it for today.  I promise to send more updates soon.
