A Discussion On Linked In - Has the South Lost it's Manners?
I have been following this discussion for a couple of weeks.
A few hours ago - around 1:30 - I was on Silas Creek Parkway headed to Bolton Street. There was a funeral procession leaving Hayworth Miller requiring several cars to cut into the left hand turn lane. There was a police escort leading the procession. The entire intersection stopped and paused for at least 5 minutes. There were no honking horns while the lights cycled through at least twice. When the last car with the procession went through the intersection, everyone took their turn at waiting through the next cycle of lights. This is a typical Southern tradition, and everyone participated quietly with dignity and respect.
I have lived in the South for 33 years. I believe it is our manners that make up the manners of the South. Individually, we become the collective visual for the rest of the world. Let's all do our part!

Happy New Year!
January 07, 2011
It is an interesting day, the New Year is off to a good start! I am trying to locate a US Notary Public for one of my clients in the city of Donetsk in the Ukraine. As it turns out, the Orthodox Christian Church celebrates Christmas today - So I am going to have to wait till Monday to continue the quest!
I have waited a long time to begin "blogging" - one of those tasks that one must be commited to addressing on a daily basis; so I begin today!
Some of the content will be brief; others will be longer and might ramble! only one way to find out where thisleads and how it will work.
My website is www.georgepingho.com
