Nigh

Kristin says that people seem to think southerners are pleasant because of the accent. Even when they are rude to you, it just sounds so nice.

When I was at Michigan State, I liked to talk real southern sometimes. One of my favorite things was to ask people if they knew what nigh meant.

The correct answer? Purt' near, but not plum'.

Well, gasoline is nigh onto four dollars here today, $3.999. Nothing nice about that. Actually, it is over $4.00 at a couple of places.

In a tourist town, Memorial Day is the beginning of the season. Everyone will be watching to see what happens this weekend.
