I was thinking today: What misconceptions do people have about where you live?

People hear Nebraska and think farmland. I actually had someone ask me if we had a lot of problems with cows causing traffic jams. rolling on the floor laughing I said, "Yes. The Local McDonalds at lunch time ALWAYS has a back up".

There's a Nascar track here where I live, so naturally everyone assumes you're a race fan. I can't watch racing for more than a few minutes though, the monotany of it all nearly bores me to tears.

Hillbillies!!!
Most people I have met here do not make moonshine, chew on hay all day long, run around barefoot 24/7, say "Howdy Ya'll" as a greeting, have shotgun weddings, or think "possum stew" or "hog jawls" are a delicacy.

I live in St. Petersburg Fl. It has the reputation of being "the city of the newly wed and nearly dead" This is because so many people come here to retire.

However the average age has really declined and there are a lot of young adult oriented activities here. Now there's a pro baseball team, cultural events. a very diverse society.

It is a beautiful city, I came here 23 years ago, after leaving another beautiful city, San Antonio, TX. Here, you are never more than 15 minutes to a beach. The weather is mild all year. It has never reached 100 degrees here, but the humidity is awful.

We think you guys will still fall into the ocean someday. I'm guessing with all the illegals out there, the added weight may make it happen laugh
