Georgians want access to Tenn. water

[DeclinetoState]

They want to redraw state boundary<hr>

In 1993, Joel J. Kyle and his wife, Juanita, moved just over the Georgia border to Tennessee — and Joel Kyle vowed never to cross it again.

Now, some Georgia lawmakers want the border to cross him, in a manner of speaking.

A resolution in Georgia's legislature proposes to move the Tennessee-Georgia boundary about a mile to the north of where it now lies, which could put Kyle right back into the state he left 15 years ago.

The proposal elicited instant ridicule from residents of the area on Thursday, as well as tongue-in-cheek saber rattling from Tennessee lawmakers.

One state senator offered to settle the issue with a football game. Another suggested floating an armada of University of Tennessee fans down the Tennessee River to defend the state's territory.

I thought they settled all this s*** about 250 years ago.

All joking aside. I have family in Georgia and have seen how dry it is there. I watched, over time (6 months), two big ponds turn into a tiny ditch with mud in the center and lots of dead (whopper) fish. He has an underground well but that's the only thing keeping them alive. No city water to be had.

Whiskey is for drinking. Water is for fighting over.
