Savanna(h)

Has WedNesDay happened there yet? I get so confused with the time difference. Good luck/job on your midterms. Hey, did you hear the some people got their HP books early, a la your dream? Well they did, were you one of them. Does Ron die? Don't tell me, no wait, does he? No. shut up. Percy?
Anyway after we left Atlanta we took that highway, you know which one, south towards Macon. Interesting fact, or rather amusing, not that interesting, my mother is firmly convinced that at one time Augusta was the capital of Georgia. I mean she has asked several people. It is awkward.I believe that Marion was in fact once the capital but that was like a hundred years ago and not when my mother was in school, which is where she claims to have learned this fallacy. Moving on...
My mom has this habit which happens to be the bane (well one of them anyway) of my existence. Whenever we drive anywhere she will just pull off the freaking road in any old (not necessarily old) town that catches her fancy, no matter how far it may or may not be from the highway, thus throwing us off of my nicely planned schedule. ( Five miles at 30 mph is 10 minutes times two is twenty do you see where I am going with this.) There is a lot of work that goes into those timetables and I factor in some stuff, like rain and acts of good and bad drivers and woodland creatures, but a 53 minute side tour is not something I can emotionally deal with. Ergo this little side comment on Dublin, Georgia.
Dublin, Georgia is amazing. I say that not because it is a center of industry or anything, I say it because as I sat in the KFC off of the second exit of Dublin, drinking a Pepsi (there was no Coke, I was quite angered) and eating a biscuit (there is a u in that word?), two men came in and they had on cut off jeans, flannel shirts open with a wifebeater on underneath and no shoes. There were no freaking shoes Ali. I couldn't handle it. I mean, I showed no outward emotion, which is as you know how I freak out, but on the inside my interior monologue was like "WTF where am I. Why did my godforsaken mother bring be to a fastfood restaurant in the middle of fracking georgia so I could watch these two scruffy looking hill people eat their fried chicken four feet away from me with their dirty feet. Dirty feet! AHHHH." There was a lot more swearing in my head though. Also, I dont' really think in words, but you know, creative liberties. There is also a federal courthouse there, which is of no interest to me but great interest to my mother, who thinks it is evidence of congressional graft in action, or rather in action during the 1920's when i surmise the courthouse was built. I think that it is a country capital and therefore fine. I don't really want to verify this fact.
Anyway we drove some more and ended up in Savannah. But I have a headache now and I will write about it later. Also the Tigers are playing the Twins so I am distracted.
PS- bargain better or we are finished. Also I had a dream I bought your family groceries the other day. Creepy- absolutely. True- yes.

To clarify, Beijing is exactly twelve hours ahead of our fair time zones. That is, I AM SPEAKING TO YOU FROM THE FUTURE. Har har har.

And I have yet to dream of your family.
