The other night I left my house at 10:45 to drive to the gas station and purchase one can of Coca-Cola. That is an example of a thing that would have never happened if I still lived up North. I think there is something in the air in Georgia that makes people crave Coca-Cola. I rarely drink soda, and if I do, I have generally preferred Pepsi. It seems that some holdout part of me that I never knew existed has finally succumbed.
Another thing that I probably would have never experienced if I still lived up North: the news from a couple months back that an older couple, a couple of miles from where I live, was attacked and killed by a pack of wild dogs.

Hi Kristen,
I'm a fan of "Fifty-two Stories" and I found your blog from there.
You are the most interesting writer I've encountered in a while. I want you to know that your writing has unraveled me, all the way over here in Madrid (I'm a writer as well, and journalist, teaching English in Spain and working on short stories of my own).
Writing necessitates some re-inspiration once and a while, and you have done that for me.
Amy
