Cold Cool and Sweet Atlanta

Today is cold for Atlantans. The air is crisp and filled with the smell of morning coffee and smoldering embers from the fireplaces warmth from the night before. Rush hour in Atlanta greets you not with loud sounds but with a slow steady movement like sweet mollasses on a cold morning. We do not worry or fear the cold yet, because we know the day will warm slowly and we will shed the heaviest pieces of our clothing, and we will take our cars to the local car wash for a quickie cleaning. Today is a good day in Atlanta.
