Confused, Would We?

An odd thing happened on my way home from work last night. I was slowing down for the red light at the upcoming intersection when I heard someone honking (well, their car was honking) in the lane to the right of me. I looked over and it was a young blond lady, with brunette passenger in tow, driving a white Acura Integra, or was it an RS-X? Whichever it was, it was the Acura version of a Civic. She was talking on her cell phone and making gestures indicating she liked my car. I didn't recognize her, but I did have my head up my pocket, so maybe I do know this mystery girl. Anyway, it was strange that some random young woman would not only take an interest in cars but go out of her way to let me know she liked mine. That kind of thing never happens to me. I'm not complaining, mind you, it's just an out-of-the-ordinary occurrence.

Goin' South?

So last weekend was Chili Fest and my first ever trip to Nashville, TN. Before going, I really didn't have thoughts one way or the other about Nashville. Now that I've been there, I can honestly say I wouldn't mind moving there (although I might be singing a different tune in the summer), though it likely wouldn't be for a while. The area is more picturesque than Ohio (where isn't?), and I certainly don't have family keeping me here. I mean, I already live 400 miles away from family, what's another 50? The 70 mph speed limits are nice too. :)

I've never thought too much about The South and there would be some adjustment, but I think I like it. For example, one of the local post offices is part of a Mailboxes, Etc. type store. The name of said store is Goin' Postal. Southerners sure know how to court me.


Yeah, it's been a while since my last post, but I've been busier than a scotch tape salesman at a leper colony.
