BECOMING A LOCAL

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

It got into the 40s overnight and I have to admit it did feel nippy.

I had to wear socks today, and it took me some time to actually find some in the drawer.

I am no longer surprised to hear someone say they want to move 2 streets over to get a better view of the canyon.

I can get through an entire local newscast without scoffing.

I get itchy if the other guy isn't driving 80 on I-5... what is it, Sunday or something?

I have not eaten a steak in a very long time, nor a hot dog.

I forget regular people don't know where Encinitas is.

I'm noticeably sadder when it's gray outside.

I find SeaWorld unexciting. (Also Shamu tried to kill a trainer today, which is not very sporting of him. I think SOMEONE needs a vacation... )

I can't believe how cheap gas is everywhere else.

I don't miss having a basement.
