1. Toilet Seat Covers - As a SoCal resident you would expect these in every public restroom but sadly, they seem to be a California luxury. You know how you're shocked if you walk into a restroom that doesn't have seat covers and you think to yourself, "Man, now I have to hover." Well, that's an everyday occurance in Ohio. Be grateful for those thin pieces of paper!
2. Driving 80mph on the Freeway - The average speed limit here is 65 (sometimes 55). Unlike the CHP, Ohio's PD takes speed limits very seriously. You can do 5mph over AT MOST! I've been informed to not even try 5mph over if it's near the end of the month. You would think I've just been misled by Derrick but no, drive anywhere in Ohio and you'll see these people take their speed limits seriously.
3. Predictable Weather - You know how in CA you can look at the weather on Monday and say, "Hey, it's going to be 85 on Friday, I think I'll go to the beach." Well in Ohio the weather can be sunny, raining, snowing and then clear and sunny all within 8 hours. This makes planning outdoor activities slightly challenging.
4. Fast, Fast Food - When I lived in CA I could decide I wanted a burrito at 9pm and have at least 5 places to choose from all within a 15min round trip. In Ohio (at least where I'm currently living) if I want a burrito at 9pm my best bet is to get a microwavable one from the Super Walmart which is about a 30min round trip. This is probably a blessing in disguise but you have no idea how much I miss Del Taco and El Pollo Loco (both of which are not located in the entire state of Ohio).
5. WaMu - I love Washington Mutual and I miss it! It's weird to go into a bank where everyone is wearing suits and seem way too uptight. Luckily, the only place I've seen uptight people have been in the bank.
Thats all for now. Thank God for the MetroParks!
