Strange Welcome

Ben and I are enjoying discovering what Midwestern life is all about. So far, we've noticed weather is a big deal here. Anyway... it seems much cooler than Miami and almost no mosquitoes which is nice.

All neighborhoods have certain quirks right? Well ours is no exception. When you turn onto the street near ours you see lots of signs and barricades so people will not do three point turns in their driveways. Apparently, the city just put up a concrete median thing and so people that go to McDonald's used to could have turned left... well, not any more. So instead, they do turns in the driveways of these people. I think the buckets and boards are my favorite barricade.

This is a fine sampling of the many signs.














Sometimes the signs are even a bit mocking don't you think?

How is weather a big deal? It is a Wizard of Oz thing?

it's not just a Wizard of Oz thing... it's just a Midwestern obsession. By the way, BBQ is also big here and delicious.
