So I have decided to compile a little list about all the things that are different in this state. This is just minor stuff, so don't be sad if you aren't mentioned here.
1. Botts-dots. Oh how I love Botts-dots, they help me see the lines on the highway even in the rain. They make switching lanes fun, and are always a challange when you try not to hit them. (I should right a poem!!)
2. Mountains. I really think one of the most beautiful things in the world is the snow-capped mountains which appear to ring the valley I am currently living in. I especially like when 'the mountain' is out...Mt. Rainer, sure it may blow in a few years, but at least I'll be safe!!
3. Back roads. That's right, once again I don't always have to take the highway. There are all sorts of back ways to get around, sometimes three or four different ways to get to once place.
4. Circle K. If something is a foot at the Circle K I will be able to get there, not that I'd want to anyway... unless Keanu Reeves really was there...
5. 7-Eleven. Ok, it's my second convience store in a row, but everybody who lives in MN and knows what it is like to DESPERATELY want a slurpee and not be able to get them... well, you all know why this is on my list.
6. The Weather. It hit 87F today and that was warm for this area, and there was no hideous humidity to go along with it.
7. The Ocean. Even though I haven't really seen it yet, only The Sound, I know it is there.
Well that brings me up to date with what I love about this place. Of course feel free to tell me what I am missing back in MN... thunderstorms and tornados.
