Me: Don't you think this wall is just crying out for a blackboard?
Raz Man: It is. I can hear it.
Being without a vehicle here has left us a little bored between walks and bike rides. Thankfully there's a Sherwin Williams Paint store within walking distance, so when the urge struck we could take immediate action. Finding chalk was a little harder. At Publix, us foreigners (Canadians) sometimes have to repeat ourselves. The clerk made us repeat the request several times. For some reason he thought we said Chock, and was even further confused by the term BLACKBOARD. Here in the South it's a CHALKBOARD. That straight, we encountered a further "cultural" difference. I rode for ages looking for a mailbox yesterday. Frustrated and drenched with sweat, finally I asked a neighbor. "put it in your own mailbox and put the flag up". REALLY? I thought the flag was to inform you "you've got mail". And I thought we just had a lazy postman. And here in Florida...Hydro is water, not electricity.....
