Notables

  1. I was in and out of the DMV in 15 minutes with my new license in hand. Talk about a faster pace!
  2. I was offered a homemade chicken enchilada while I waited for my state inspection to be completed by a local mechanic. Awesome!
  3. If there is a space between two cars equaling 2 feet longer than your vehicle, it is safe to merge into that space.
  4. A safe following distance at 70+mph is just under 10 feet.
  5. Our new favorite game is trying to decipher all the personalized license plates. We've seen some doozies! (JNESSA, B3LAVTA, RNOV8TR, THE-WIZ, HUGADOG, OZZZY, NINO, YOUZ, LV-MUZK )
  6. You can be around 100+ people for an entire day and not one of them will mention football.
  7. You can always count on your friends to "watch the (insert SEC team here) game with you" via Facebook. It's almost the same...
  8. There are tons of things to do here. This weekend there was a Chili Cook-off, the Circus and Help-Portrait all in the same few block area.
  9. People are pretty nice.
  10. Having an actual season called Fall/Autumn that lasts more than three days... priceless.

  1. When we lived in a more northern place than where we started, I too was amazed at the personalized license plates! They were everywhere! For us, people didn't care about football but basketball was huge!
