Omaha! I mean Omaha! Well it's not so bad. If you don't mind blistering heat coupled with intense humidity it isn't so bad. It really isn't that bad. However, it isn't Southern California. We are land locked and it is only now that I realize that I took living next to the Pacific Ocean for granted. For those of you who still live near the beach I implore you to go everyday. Take advantage and exploit it for all you can!! The people are really nice. They are very friendly and seem to understand manners. They celebrate the 4th of July like no people I have ever seen in my life. There were so many fireworks that I swear I could have been in the middle of a war zone. I have noticed that many people struggle with the art that Southern Californians have perfected. What is this art you ask? Merging onto the freeway. Yes! Several times I have witnessed people stopping at the end of the on ramp and waiting for the perfect moment when there are no cars. I guess there is nothing wrong with that. I just find it interesting and dangerous! In Southern California we BBQ, but here we grill out and when talking of pools we make sure to specify if it is in ground or above ground. There are no fences around yards making it really easy to always keep a close eye on your neighbor. You never know what they could be up to. In Southern California we generally are not aware that we have neighbors until there is a moving van blocking our driveway. As for the mountains, well there are none. Only flat land for as far as the eye can see, but don't let your heart be troubled because there is more corn than you could ever fathom. All and all Omaha isn't so bad. It just isn't Southern California.
