I was trying to imagine what it would be like if I got pulled over in Alabama...with an Oregon drivers license....in a car with South Carolina plates that we rented in Georgia. I had a picture in my mind of my poor wife having to translate for me while I tried to explain the situation to Sherriff Buford T Justice. Fortunately, it didnt happen!

Pretty major culture shock for this Oregon native. My wife had a death in her family, she called me at 4:30 in the afternnoon on Wednesday to tell me that we would be leaving the house at 3:30 AM the following morning in order to catch a 6:30 AM flight from Portland to Atlanta, Georgia and then renting a car to drive to Columbus for the funeral and a reception across the river in Alabama. Its been 35 years since I flew in an airplane and the furthest east I have ever been is Montana, so the last couple of days have been pretty crazy. My wife grew up down here so she is used to the Southern accents and hers came right back. I, on the other hand, can barely understand some of the people. On the plus side, the term "Southern Hospitality" isn't a cliche, its really true. The people down here treat you like you are their best friend, even if they never met you before. And I even ate grits for the first time, at a place called the "Waffle House" which I am told is a requirement for anyone on their first visit to the South. The only thing I dont like is the heat--I was scraping ice off my window at home and it was 86 here with about 400% humidity. I would die here in August!

One of my fellow mechanics is from Alabama, and even he doesn't like the climate there.
