You know you’re in The South when you’re asked, “What kind of Coke would you like? I’ve got Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Dr. Pepper.” Now The Great Pop vs. Soda Controversy has been thoroughly studied, and you can see county by county what the most popular generic name for soft drink is for different parts of the United States. Also interesting are dialectal surveys of aunt, coupon, mischievous and others.
I finally finished organizing all of my pictures from my last trip to Slovakia (October–December), so there are quite a few new pictures in my photo gallery. The biggest chunk of new pictures are from Slovakia, but there are also some from other places too.
A few of the better shots are the Frozen Hawthorn, Lonely Trio, Danube Bridge at Night, Rybník Bašovce Lake and The Rock House.
