I just received an award for my blog from Nash Deville at A Yankee in Tennessee, a fellow northerner just trying to get by in the south. Thanks Nash--and to everyone who reads this--whether you agree with my viewpoint or not. I must also give a shout out to Tennessee and her interesting people for providing me with the inspiration to create this blog.
