I think I'm addicted to travel. I need to see new (even obscure) things outside my own ZIP code. A couple weeks ago during a stint in South Carolina I actually detoured through Edgefield, South Carolina ("Home of 10 Governors") to get a picture of Strom Thurmond High School.
Last weekend I made a little side trip to see Madison, Georgia, aka "The Town Sherman Refused to Burn," with its lovely Morgan County Courthouse.
I like going places. The next big trip is San Francisco in mid-April with my Nashville friends ... and then nothing until Tucson in late October.
Fortunately I got a wonderful e-mail from family friends; their daughter is getting married over Fourth of July weekend in gorgeous Maine. I booked my tickets tonight!
And I also have discovered that Georgia has its own music hall of fame! It's true! A day trip awaits ...
Have you seen the Golden Peanut of Dothan? I think you should. I tried to photograph it, but all the pics came out super-fuzzy. I think this proves that it's of alien origin.

Thanks for the tip, Miles -- I will have to put that on the regional list. Sounds like something I would read about in a Harry Potter book!
