Per Request of Erin in Ukraine...

So... my friend Erin told me today that I needed to update my blog. I don't really have any good stories, though. In an effort to please the fans at a time of blogger's block, I will post some great things about the place I live...

1. TCBY. That's right, a recent discovery. I don't know why I didn't know this was here, but it is. I almost cried when I saw it I was so happy!

2. Trash pick up. Everyday. More than once.

3. Friendly people. As a general rule, the people here are great. There are "those people," but as a whole, great bunch of folks!

4. Showers. I know what you're thinking, "Most people have showers." But here's the thing. The heat index outside is hotter 'an blue blazes, so inside it's about the temp of blue blazes. Showers have to happen multiple times and I'm just thankful that they do.

5. Drink stands every 5 or 6 feet. Nice

6. David's. A drink stand... kinda of like Sonic, but not at all. It still deserves it's own number though.

7. Wal-Mart x2.

8. Fresh vegetables all year. They have pumpkins all year as well. Mmm... pumpkin bread!

9. Great restaurants. Particularly one around the corner... Xian Shan... good stuff.

10. Service oriented. It's great...

11. Cooking with gas... so much better than electricity.

12. Cheap stuff: haircut= $3; massage= $4; bottle of water= $.30; McDonald's ice cream= $.36

Ok, 12 is enough. Happy blogging!
