“…And he set a moral tone and a decency that we just weren’t ready for.”I could start a flame war if I responded with my views on that, so I’ll just say I 100% agree with that opinion.
The “Low Country” is (or, at least, it used to be) South Carolina’s coastal region from the north side of the Savannah River to Charleston-ish. It does not (or, again, used to not) include Georgia. The Georgia side of the river from Savannah south to around Darien or so is known the “Coastal Empire.”Of course, I’m sure there are other places around the US known by the “Low Country” moniker- and I’ve never been able to figure out where this one is set, anyway.
Ever hear a peacock? Freaking terrifying getting woken up by one of those in the middle of the night. Folks down the street from where I grew up had ‘em. I live in the burbs now, but used to live in the middle of downtown (city population over 3 million) and steady whirr of the cars coming from the interstate was actually sort of comforting, as was the occasional train rumbling through on the tracks nearby. My “beef” then (as now) was overloud music. There, it was the random cars at the stoplight in front of the highrise. Now, it’s the neighbors who insist on playing theirs on their patios or in the garage loud enough for me to hear it over my TV- inside my home (windows closed).
Congrats.
