All hail Humidity, goddess of soaked shirts!

Ick.

I was reminded this morning (forceably?) of why it is that we Southerners usually mosey and don't hurry. It's too darned humid out there to do anything else. It didn't help that I ran this morning (yay!), so was still mildly warmer than usual (boo) when I started my bus-less walk to the Metro station this morning. Thank heavens for A/C in the station (and knowing where to stand to be right under the vents), and in the cars (ditto that last comment).

Looks to be an absolutely insane week here at work. Pray I don't go insane.

... we... Southerners? I must have my geography all fucked up, because if you're all Southerners, then damn. I'm a way way way way deep Southerner.

I grew up in SE Virginia, near the NC border (Va Beach/Norfolk area), so yes, I still consider myself Southern.

(and don't even say that Virginians aren't, because I almost decked the last Texan who tried to insinuate that)

Oh. OK. I just mistook your statement about 'we Southerners' because it seemed like you were talking about "us folks from D.C..."

I sometimes scratch my head when people call Virginia the south, let alone DC. To me its Atlanta, Alabama and Florida.

Northern Virginia aside, Virginia is most definitely culturally the south. And I always have to point out that the capitol of the confederacy was Richmond, Va, after all.

Thanks Y'all.

It's such a hard distinction in this neck of the woods; more people would consider West Virginia as part of the South than Maryland, for instance, but of course WV seceeded from the rest of Virginia in order to stay with the North, while Annapolis had to be occupied by Union troops in order to keep it from seceeding.

My personal north/south line is centered on Richmond, but of course, wherever one grew up has a lot to do with it. I know some people who don't consider North Carolina part of the South, for instance, and that's just crazy talk. :)
