Carol, I think you're probably right!!! Especially considering where you are now living. Columbus, Georgia is at the northern limits of "The Great Georgia Gnat Country," with it's capital in Albany (al-BAY-nee). A few years ago, southwest Georgia lobbied to have the state bird changed to the gnat but it went down to defeat.

I've always thought that the women in that area were some of the greatest mothers in the entire world and it was easy to tell who the great ones were too! The best mothers cut the seat out of their kids' pants so their little butts are out in the breeze! Truly an act of love as this keeps the gnats off of their faces.
