AliceTheOwl Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Re: The Last Word Atlanta's on my mind a whole lot, but not for the reasons the city government probably wishes. The highlight of my year occurs there, but only for one long weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Re: The Last Word No, probably not. Though I put the blame squarely on South Carolina's fault for . . . well, every time I've ever driven through there. What were they THINKING, giving 15-year-olds a license to drive?

lemming Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Re: The Last Word I've been to Georgia a couple times in the last two years. Last time was just the Atlanta airport, which wasn't too bad. Time before was a run up to the middle of Georgia from New Orleans. Not much besides seeing the road, so can't say much about Georgia either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Re: The Last Word I've never been in either of the Carolinas. And my forays into Virginia are strictly in the DC area. The Old South is the part of the country I really have never been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Re: The Last Word No. There were ships like that in WW1, called "Q-ships", which tried to sucker the U-boats in close (they had two tiers of fake "abandon ship" teams) so they could be destroyed. Escort carriers just flew aircraft, and subs had great difficulty operating when planes are aloft looking for them and ready to report & attack.
