It's all about the water!

Did you hear about the attempted land grab on NBC news tonight? That's right here in our back yard. I tried to find a link on the NBC web site, but couldn't find one. It seems that about 200 years ago, the GA/TN border was supposed to be set at the 35th parallel. The surveyor, using the best tools and knowledge available at the time, plotted the line. Now they find out, with all today's sophisticated GPS and mapping technology, the line is about a mile south of the parallel.

If the line were on the 35th parallel, GA would have access to the water in the Tennessee River (which GA does not now have). And now, the GA Legislature has passed a resolution saying that the line should be moved. Needless to say, TN isn't going to let this happen without a big fight. Such a move would puts lots of Tennesseans in GA, including part of the city of Chattanooga. This border line is also between GA and North Carolina, but GA doesn't seem to care whether that part of it gets changed or not. Stay tuned.....

We didn't get to see any of the eclipse tonight - just too much cloud cover. Phooey!

Tonight's photo is the lovely table that our hostess set for the High Tea our Swim Group had yesterday.
