[EL] Georgia neighboring Mississippi?

[Gaddie, Ronald K.]

Well, by this logic, Arkansas neighbors Colorado, since they are separated only by Oklahoma.

Thanks for giving an early AM smile to a Georgia Bulldog.  Whenever I think of Atlanta, I of course think of Mississippi.

Subject: [EL] Georgia neighboring Mississippi?

The TMP article (link below) includes this: "He compared Georgia's
statistics to neighboring Mississippi..."

This is the second time this week I've heard (now read) that GA "neighbors" MS.

Is it just me, or when discussing large geographic entities, or large
distances, wouldn't the placement of Alabama in between GA and MS make
"neighboring" the wrong word? I suspect that Northerners forget about
poor old Alabama, and just think of the "deep south" as either MS or
GA.
