Jacksonville; Part 1

1. Tap water is rarely cold
2. Speed limit posted at 65 really means 90 (in the passing lane)
3. When pumping gas you have to hold the lever...you can't clip in place
4. Opening at 8 means opening at 8:30
5. We've fallen in the Eastern Time zone and rarely make the 11 O'clock evening news
6. Personal escort to load my trunk after an outing at the local Publix, they even push Matthew!
7. Pulling over anywhere and doing mechanical work on your car

12. Sweet tea!
13. You may live 5 miles from Publix, but it takes 30-40 minutes to reach it.
14. Walmart is EVERYWHERE....ALWAYS open (and we're not lying)
15. Road construction is in mass. Many Many men are everywhere, in groups of 3. 1 man doing the work, the other watching and the other talking on his cell phone. Don't they understand if they ALL work together they could get the job done? No wonder road construction in in mass
