compare&contrast

So, I'm in the lovely little town of Mill Creek right now, and North Carolina is not bad at all. However, there are some things that Washington has that are just "better." Here's the list of things I see over the next week or so.

Reasons Why Washington Rules
You don't need sunglasses all the time
Taco Time is the best fast food ever
Got trees?
Fred Meyer. The best thing since sliced bread.
"Going Green" is a way of life
Puget Sound, the most beautiful place on earth
No one would ever ask "what church do you go to" without prompting
There are no cicadas. Or cicada killer bees.
The mountains are real. They blow up.
Hurricanes and tornadoes? What are those?
The music scene is truly unstoppable.

Reasons Why North Carolina Rules
Bank of America ... the ATMs don't need envelopes.
Harris Teeter, where they unload your cart for you and are super clean and super nice and have 30 different types of cheese
The chicken is real at Chick-fil-A
The Evening Muse. GO THERE.
Minimal clothing required, it's always 80 degrees+
Volcanoes and earthquakes? What are those?
The world is shrinking, so it doesn't really matter where you are.


more to come ... but probably not.
