Sorry to inform you Margret, but absolutely no where in California is considered "The South"! laugh

To be considered in The South, you must be in one of the following states:

Virginia
North Carolina
South Carolina
Georgia
Florida
Mississippi
Alabama
Louisiana

Also you may get an argument from some folks that consider The South in the following states (but I do not hold to that theory.):

Texas (very very close though)
Tennessee
Kentucky
Arkansas


And the reason you cannot "set" (a southern term that means to place oneself in the sitting position) on the front porch at 5:00 DST is it is still too darn hot and humid at that time since it is really 4:00.

I now recognize the ladies and gentlemen of the Forums from VA, NC, SC & FL to back me up....am I right? If not please correct me laugh laugh laugh
