There exists a distinct difference between the way northern and southern Americans give directions. I was recently reminded of this disparity upon visiting the Flannery O’Connor/Andalusia Foundation site. Were I to visit Andalusia in the remote Milledgeville, I apparently must take the following route:

From Savannah, take I-16 West and exit Highway 441 North at Dublin. Follow 441 North to Milledgeville. Take Highway 441 Bypass North until you intersect with Highway 441 again on the north side of town. Turn left on Highway 441 North. As you travel north past the Wal-Mart shopping center, look for Badcock Home Furniture on the right side of the highway as you leave Milledgeville. The driveway to Andalusia is located on the left side of Highway 441 just beyond the furniture store.

So let me see if I have this down – I get on 441, which intersects with 441, and then I turn back onto 441 and begin looking for a quasi-pornographic-sounding furniture store, after the obligatory Walmart sighting. Once I find said store, I continue on 441 to the lovely Andalusia. Got it.

And that’s what I like about the South…

I don’t care what you’re doing.
I don’t care what you’re eating.
I don’t care where you’re going.
I don’t care that you just met with leading banking industry leaders.
I don’t care that you’re battery is low.
I don’t care about what you paid for gas.
I don’t care what you’re wearing.
I don’t care what you’re buying.
I. Don’t. Care.

STFU you egotistical twittering morons.

I’m not the only one that does not care. No one cares, but it seems you might. It must sate that inner ‘lookitmemom!’ you were to have grown out of at age 5, as the rest of us did. So twitter on, twit. Maybe one day you’ll mature to be an actual, live adult. Neat-O! Huh!?111
