For a lot of us, it's been looking a bit more like Hoth than Naboo outside this fine winter. After scanning the web for Star Wars news, a couple fun posts caught my eye.

"Atlanta has been shut down all week due to more snow than the city was prepared to deal with. The term "Hothlanta", a play on Hotlanta, really caught on and someone grabbed the domain name and started selling tee shirts. Here is the most popular:
An AT AT in front of Waffle House. If you have never been here, Waffle Houses are everywhere. Here's the site if your interested - hothlanta.com ."
