West Vs. East

Its a whole ‘nother culture out there.

1. There was one of those little drive-thru coffee/expresso huts every 1/4 mile or so out there (there are 2 in all of Aiken.)
2. They are right proud of their gasoline because they think it is worth about 70¢ more than here.
3. Nobody was in a hurry. I drive the limit +5MPH and around here I’m a road hazard, out there I passed more people than passed me.
4. Not a lot of trash can sized chrome “mufflers” disturbing the peace. Come to think of it, there was not a lot of trunk rattling hip-hop being played either.
5. I could understand people without having to turn on the southern to english translator machine.

I think it has to do with the lower temperatures and humidity, it calms people. I admit I probably need a bigger sample and might want to go back in February after it has rained every day for 2 straight months.
