Swimming early in the morning, like around 6am, is quite nice. Our health club has an outdoor pool that opens at 5am. No one lives in their houses here. Everyone lives outside. Houses, for the most part, are just meant for eating and sleeping. This is very strange for us coming from New England. I get very strange looks from people at work when I tell them we took it easy over the weekend and just hung around the house.
Living is Southern California is a little weird. In the Boston area it is about this time of year we usually pull out the warmer clothes as the weather begins to change. Instead, it still fills like summer. This is new and a little strange for us. I have some other subtle observations about life in Southern California. How did Boston drivers get the reputation for being the worst drivers in the country? I have never seen so many accidents in my life as I have seen here in the past two months. Leave it to California to allow heart shapes and smiley faces on their license plates. I'd love to hear a police officer call in a plate with one of the permitted shapes on it. We’ve been working very hard at getting settled in, probably too hard. We haven’t even been to the beach. We are hoping to go tomorrow.
