6a00d8341c831253ef00e54f3093188833-640wi In a field near Parkview High School in Gwinnett County, Ga.: A scarecrow dressed in graduation cap and gown.

Sign on a combination boiled peanuts, peaches, tomatoes, corn on the cob and pine straw stand on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta, Ga.: “The earth is a pot and every race has to put their seasoning in it.”

Headline on Crime Scene column in the Brunswick News: “Bed sheets stolen from residence.” (The news item goes on to say a woman came home and found her home’s door open but could find nothing missing except the “sheets from her mother’s bedroom.” For the record, they were valued at $200.)

About the author Keith Graham: Keith Graham lives in Atlanta most of the time and on St. Simons Island on Georgia’s coast the rest. Like so many Southerners, Keith was named for a blind piano player, who is now little remembered, and he spent his earliest years living with his parents in the back rooms of a small-town Georgia radio station. Later, he moved to several other states, including North Carolina twice, before returning to Georgia. He has worked for a series of newspapers, including The Atlanta Journal and Constitution from 1979 to 2007.
