You know you're not in Seattle anymore when:
10. Strangers seem....happy. And they greet you.
9. Trader Joe's is closed on Sunday. (What?!)
8. Your neighborhood has more children than dogs.
7. Parking signs are an IQ test.
 |
| Outside our house. So...when can we park here? |
 |
| Seriously? |
5. You get about one good mosquito bite per week.
4. Someone describes their former pastor as "conservative," but simply means the pastor didn't like technology.
3. Summer is actually summer.
2. Thunder and lightning are capable of waking you up at night.
And my personal favorite....
1. Your state representative has a dead possum hanging over his head.
 |
| Not going to see that in Seattle. |
It's a different world here. I think I like it. (Don't worry, we still love Seattle.)
Wow on the dead possum! That's...something. Although, to be fair, that office would be completely at home in Texas, where I come from.
ReplyDeleteParking signs -- *have* you figured out the meaning of all that? It's like the logic sections of standardized tests: "Jen and Tim would like to park their car in front of their house on the second Thursday of July from 6-8:15 p.m. Can they do this? Here are the parameters..."
Maybe it's a public service to make sure people keep their brains agile.
Glad you're liking it there!
God bless!
