This Library Is In Moultrie, Georgia

An email from someone the other day asked where this library is located. I replied, "We're located in Moultrie, Georgia." "Well, where's that?" they asked. So we went through the long process of roadmapping them from their place to our place.
All that information made me think of another email I received from a friend. She said, "You know you're in Georgia in July when. . .
  • The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
  • The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
  • Hot water now comes from both taps.
  • You can make sun tea instantly.
  • You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
  • The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.
  • You discover that in July it takes only two fingers to steer your car.
  • You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
  • You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
  • You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
  • Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out, end up on the pavement and cook to death?"
  • You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
  • The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
  • Farmers feed their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.
  • The cows are giving evaporated milk.

Ah, but what a place to call home! Georgia! And July is right around the corner!

And it's so hot, my dog chased the cat and both were walking.

It's so hot we dug some parched peanuts.

Rum-pum-pum....
