Signs that I have left California



Signs that I have left California

1. The ATM spits out fives and tens.
2. There are composting bins next to the recycle bins everywhere you go. Not very many trash bins around. (I like this)
3. When oncoming traffic flashes their brights, they are not warning you about a speed trap—they are letting you know a mama deer and her babies are about to cross!
4. Pistachios and avocados are considered delicacies.
5. You can’t buy your wine at the supermarket. (I do not like this)
6. You can’t get a full service car wash (believe me, if it could be done, I would have found it)
7. The gardener and handyman have Ph.D.s. (just kidding)
8. You can drink the tap water.
9. The local news is not depressing.
And the best sign so far:
10. The public schools employ P.E. coaches, music teachers, art teachers and the ratio in Kindergarten is 1 to 7. (2 teachers for 14 kids)
