Cliff and Linda White handled every timber that went into the framing of their dream home overlooking Nickajack Cove on the Tennessee River. Today they are Tennessee residents, and they prefer it that way.

"I don't want to go to Georgia," said Mrs. White, a Sand Mountain native.

But if Georgia lawmakers are successful in a challenge to move the Tennessee-Georgia state line about a mile north, the Whites would join about 30,000 other Tennessee residents suddenly paying Georgia taxes, posting their addresses differently and carrying new driver's licenses.

I pulled up the 35th parallel on Google Earth, and dadgum it, I'd be a bulldog now! It's either just a big news story like the sharks around Florida were a few years ago, or it is something that is trying to get its legs.

Georgia lawmakers are definitely looking for something to do with their time...
