top ten

Blues for supper? I was looking through some old pictures and found this gem, it reminds me of going crabbing at money bayou and lazy summer days in Florida. Those memories brought on this post from the GRITS guide to life book (which was a gift from my dear friend, a Georgia GRITS, Cason.)

You might be a Yankee if... (excerpt from GRITS guide to life)
(I added a few side notes that seem appropriate as of late)

1. you don't know what a Moon Pie is (or a tomato sandwich, the other AMPR intern and I walked through the greenmarket at Union Sq. and I bought fresh home grown tomatoes and said I was craving a tomato sandwich. She didn't know what it was, and said "that must be a southern sandwich!"
2. you eat fried chicken with a knife and fork (I haven't seen much of the good stuff in NYC, which I probably wouldn't buy any. The best place to eat a chicken leg is out on St. Joe Bay!)
3.you've ever been to a zoo that featured a cow & chicken
4. you don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on a dog (or for that matter shoes, a rain coat, or a doggie water bottle/fanny pack...)
5. 2 generations of your family have been kicked out of prep school, well, you're a yankee if 2 generations of your family have even been to prep school
6. you've never planned a vacation around a gun & knife show
7. you think more $ should go to important scientific research at your university than the salary of the head football coach (one of the ladies on the July 4th hike was an FSU alum! (go noles!) But, she asked me if coach bowden was still there... and then said, "geez, he was OLD when I was there!... so, we still love Bobby!
8. you don't have doilies
9. you get freaked out when people on the street talk to you
10. none of your fur coats are homemade
