Things I keep forgetting whenever I come home for a visit:

  • The neighborhood is full of roosters. And yes, they start crowing at 4 a.m.
  • Central air conditioning is optional around these parts.
  • Although not as bad as in Texas during July and August, cars can get hot very fast when parked out in the sun.
  • The speed limit on the freeways is 55. That means I can't go 70 or 75 as I'm accustomed.

I would like to write about my hell-ish flight, but I don't have the energy to call that much anger.
