"Don't Be Shy. You're the one who did it"

This was what Chef Richard Miley of the Watkinsville restaurant Chops and Hops attempting to get in my way with this evening at Barberitos as I enjoyed their new mango salsa. I only wish Miley had done so about a minute and a half later so that Barberitos owner and BOE chair David Weeks could have flattened him with a block to his chest. I was merely trying to enjoy my dinner with my son when this co-owner of the restaurant down the way in Town Center decided to try a little fancy footwork with me. Lucky for him I spied my friends and talked to them in line instead. I probably should have called the Watkinsville Police on him, but they have more important things to do than to clean up the mess of restaurant wars. I know Miley is a former Marine and probably could mop the floor with me, but I do not wish them violence such as that which was talked about in their infamous black and bleu burger about six weeks back. I guess he is in no hurry for me to eat at his restaurant anytime soo

Gainesville State College transforms to University of North Georgia

In a move expected to cost a significant sum for stationary and signage, Gainesville State College will now be known as the University of North Georgia and will presumably maintain a campus in the home county of Chancellor Hank Huckaby, and that is Oconee County.  Whether we will have military drills on Bishop Farms Parkway is a matter yet to be determined. The name change is a result of the merger with North Georgia College (headquartered in Dahlonega) and Gainesville State College (whose main campus is actually in Oakwood, just outside of Gainesville proper). The campus just outside the 441 By-Pass near Watkinsville is expected to remain crowded with students who cannot maintain a high enough GPA at UGA.
