On this day:

Just peachy

Gov. Riley has signed a bill making the peach Alabama's "official tree fruit."
Earlier Tuesday, Riley said he wasn't worried about comments that have been made by some officials in Georgia, known as "the peach state," claiming that their peaches are the best.

"We don't want to have an argument. We just think our peaches taste better," Riley said.

Asked if he had invited Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue to attend the bill signing, Riley said, "He's more than welcome."
