since i've moved to texas i've observed many things that i've never seen before. thus i begin an ongoing series where i will chronicle the things i observe in texas that, pieced together, give you a picture of what life is like in my corner of this state.
1. armadillo road kill. enough said.
2. spicy food. i am a person who likes a little spice - i will order thai or indian food with medium spice, not mild. but here the options to make your food spicier are everywhere, and people make use of them. my coworkers put jalapeños on MANY things. at the burrito place across the street from my apartment you have TWO jalapeño options: fresh or pickled. two jalapeño options. i will let that soak in.
3. people drive big trucks and big SUVs. like, a noticeably larger number of people than anywhere else i've lived.
4. breakfast burritos everywhere. whole restaurants devoted to breakfast burritos. my school serves breakfast, and breakfast burritos are an option every day.
5. it is hot here. until a cold front came through (highs this week: in the 50s - woo!), it was still getting into the 80s a couple times a week. yes, in november. the thing is: i kind of don't mind. i might be getting used to it.
