P.S. My mother was born in Florida and my great-great grandfather was an original settler in Georgia (Cobb county). Does that take away some points from my "yankee" score ???

:crackup
My wife's family is descended from "Damn yankees", that is, yankees who moved south and stayed here. So, I guess you'll be okay Easy! I grew up here and have lived here my entire life and it is often amazing to me how worked up some people around here get over a war that ended 150 years ago, but some of them still hold a grudge. Some of my older relatives still refer to the US Civil war as the "war of Northern aggression"! Maybe that should tell us something about why the US is not more popular in countries we've gone into to "liberate" the population. Nobody likes an outside country occupying "their" land, even when they lost the war. That seems to be the attitude of a few folks here in the south, they still see the Federal government as an "occupying force" in "our" country.

Anyway, Easy, give me a shout when you are heading through and maybe we can meet somewhere for a meal together.
