"That's What's Great About Georgia!"

Yesterday evening as I sat near the petchi (stove that burns wood to heat a room), and waited as a bucket of water was heated to wash my hair for the first time since January 2, my dear host mom asked me "What happens in America when there is no heat, no running water, and no gas?"

I smiled. I answered that I wasn't sure since it rarely happened.

She looked over at me and smiled knowingly, "That's what's great about Georgia--everything happens here!"

I loved it. Everything does.
