Things That are Different
Wine in the grocery stores.
Gas pumps that still let you click on the gas flow automatically so that you are free to wash your window while the tank fills.
On the other hand, gas pumps that require you to enter your zip code at the pump if you plan to pay at the pump (and the pumps do not like out-of-town zip codes).
70 MPH speed limit on the interstates.
A mailbox (letter drop) that can be accessed from the car without getting out (haven’t seen one of those since 9/11).
Plastic straws in fast food restaurants that are not individually wrapped.
Freshly-made tamales for sale everywhere.
Soul food is not pizza but barbecue.
Weather that changes dramatically from one day to the next.

Undoubtedly, more to come....
