14. It is still Georgia

I lived there 60+ years, the state-wide behaviors are consistent with this situation. Less horrible in urban areas. I spend a few months there every year. It is the same in much of the state. This is a HUGE difference for Georgia. Maybe it will cause more people to think.

Join me in Thanksgiving for this step which is really a huge step.
