In the coming weeks, I will be re-posting some of my favorite posts from the past six years on this blog. Yes, I have had this blog for nearly SIX years! I have revisited some of these posts lately. It is interesting to me how much life has changed. For those who are new around here, it will give you a glimpse of the journey. I am calling this series "Encore." If you'd like, you can vote on your favorites.
Best of 2008
Here is one of the nominees from April 2008. When I wasn't globe trotting, Kenyon and I resided in the smallest town we had ever lived in - Boone, NC. This location still holds that record. There are some perks to small town life, this is one I discovered.The process to dispute a traffic violation citation (ticket) involves a face-to-face sit down with the District Attorney (DA). They told me to go talk to the DA. I thought they were joking or that at most I would speak with a DA representative...no way would the actual DA have time to speak to me about a ticket. But...they had told me truth.
I guess I should find it comforting that the DA of our town isn't inundated with murder cases or other more pressing matters and has time to speak with citizens about speeding tickets. I've just never lived in such a place. I think I'm experiencing culture shock - big city to small town life transition shock.
