LOL, good one Mark!  And thank you, Ron.  I suppose any region that uses the
word "boogher" as an endearment, must be speaking something other than the
Queen's English.  Gotta love those ol' distant cousins of mine.

  Since when do rural Georgians speak English? If they speak anything
  but Georgian, I would expect it to be something more along the lines
  of Russian, Abkhazian, Ossetic, Armenian, or Azeri (ignoring de-facto
  independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, otherwise you would
  probably have to exclude Abkhazian and Ossetic).

  Bless you, but quit picking on our Marsha, one of my favorite compatriots!
