Georgia is one early votin' kinda place. Like, really. We're talking a quarter of the state and it's still days from the election. If it can be done, to pay homage, someone should compose new lyrics for an additional stanza of "Georgia On My Mind" -- something like, "Georgia, Georgia. My vote's for you. For a ballot cast, the future ours, just waiting in that line." OK. So maybe that needs some work. I'll get back to you on it; Clayton County settles a lawsuit that led to a landmark SCOTUS decision protecting LGBTQ people from job discrimination; and in Atlanta, the rent is damn high.
