I'm not in California anymore, part 5
1) There's no helmet law.
2) Louisville is a major hub for UPS. UPS flies a plane in/out every 7 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One of the 2 flight paths is directly over the center of town. I know the weather and time of day by when planes start going low overhead. This "noise pollution" would never be allowed to happen in any of the places I've lived on the West coast.
3) I have to buy rosemary. (And lavender, if I want it.)
4) In California, winter=rain so everything turns green after summer's tans and browns. Plus the live oaks and pines, cedars, etc, are green year-round. Here the trees are deciduous, so in the winter everything is a starker, bleaker, barer browngrey. The upside is that spring springs with a lushness that is all the more noticeable for the contrast from what came before.
5) The actual high temperature yesterday was 93 degrees. But the humidity was so high that the heat index was 101, and when I got out of an air conditioned car my glasses completely fogged over.
