Things I’ve
learned living in slower lower...
In Delaware,
turn signals are optional.
If the speed
limit is 50, the car in front of you will be going 45.
In a 10 mile
stretch of road, you will have 8 different speed limit changes…and there will
be police everywhere.(I'm looking at you Rt 24)
If you are
following the Mountainaire Live chicken truck, you will need to use your wiper
blades for flying feathers. You should also be aware of escapees on the hood of
your car or…under it.
Based on #4, you
should plan on eating something other than chicken for a few days after
following that truck!
Yard sales are
not limited to the yard. The side of the road or a patch of grass in the middle
of an intersection will be set up with sale items aka other peoples junk.
Bars close at
1am. Not at 2 but 1am. Believe me when I say that lost
hour of not drinking will NOT help your hangover the next day.
You know how to
pronounce Nanticoke, Lewes, & Zwaanendael.
You know that
Atlantic Liquors really is the “Greatest Liquor Store in the World”.
Here we “go to
the beach” we do not “head down the shore”
Flip-Flops are
footwear all year long.
They cancel
school when it’s foggy. It’s called a Fog Day. (photo from retiredindelaware.blogspot.com)
Living at the beach doesn't lessen the joy and peace of seeing the ocean. Now I can just see it whenever I want.
