Good morning Savannah! and Good night Johnny Mercer!
Momentos of our life in the south (10/24/2023)

If you are afraid of height, the entrance of Savannh, Talmadge Memorial Bridge, would intimedate you from one mile away. You can see a bridge curving high over the Savannah River like a feather flying in the sky. Our friend Mark, who was an airplane pilot, would feel dizzy and refuse to drive through it. I have to close my eyes and keep praying everytime we approach the bridge.
We arrived around 7:00am and watched the sunrise while walking along the River bund. Savannh has a mysterious power to take visitors back to the 1700s and the 1800s because, in a lot of ways, it is what it was: the port, the merchant, the art, the sentiments and the sophisticated being.
Good morning, Savannah, was the sun rising the same in 1733?
The bridge in the sunrise pink lights:

We have all been amazed by 1001 night Arabian folktales, but if only we knew Savannaiens.
Every corner of savannah has its legends. where shall i start? yesterday i just wen to the Jazzcorner and our island symphony singer just chose "Days of Wine and Roses", lets go with Johnny Mercer.
He is from a legendary family. However his Dad lost all family money by over-invested in Florida real estate(can anybody relate to this today?). Johnny Mercer was on his own when 17, like a rolling stone. The rest is history.
I took a picture of the family cemetary of Johnny Mercer. names of his award wining songs are written on the sides of the white marble bench.
Once in a while, his friends come to visit him, clean the marbles and party.
So let's sing: "moon river", "the days of wine and roses".
Life is a feast but there is always a time we have to say good bye.
but i rather say good night !
when the sun rise again, Savannah will be rising and we will be singing Johnny Mercer.

Good morning Savannah! and Good night Johnny Mercer! 我也是喜欢给自己找事情做的人，但很多人很享受玩儿，啥都不想，疯玩，他们玩什么呢？首先 文化底蕴的话，南部算，高尔夫和爵士乐。 老美一般个性都很强，表面客气，内心都是有自己想法的，忽悠基本很难。政治竞选，习以为常，不是选来让自己崇拜和驯服自己的。 中西部每一个TOWN都有最好的公校养娃郊区，聚集了很多艺术家和体育健将，从俄国，中国来的，美国当地的，
