It's a good job.
• From living in Texas: "If you can do it, it ain't bragging."
• From living in New York City: a wide range of religious events can qualify as a "street cleaning holiday."
• From living in Upstate New York: How to use a combination of a snow blower and a metal detector to find your car after a storm.
• From living in Washington, D.C.: That friend's spouse is apparently employed by "an undisclosed nation."
• From living in Phoenix: One summer, my mentor and supervising attorney said to me as we prepared for my first out-of-office meeting, "When it gets to be over 100 degrees here, we don't wear our jackets."
• From living in San Francisco: Parallel parking on a steep hill with a manual transmission requires a whole new level of driving skill.
• From living in Seattle: It is really beautiful in the Northwest for at least two months each year.
• From living in Berkeley: Hum. It isn't all that much like the rest of the country.
