Things this alien loves about America

  1. just-add-water breakfast pancake mix
  2. drive-up everything
  3. no reason returns in stores
  4. pay at the pump gas
  5. gas pumps you can leave running while you clean your windows
  6. the summer swim culture
  7. the encouragement of a huge variety of sports from a very young age
  8. waiter service in Britich style pubs
  9. roadtrips
  10. hash browns
  11. right turn on red
  12. no speed cameras
  13. cup holders
  14. school buses
  15. Halloween
  16. armadillos
  17. huge effective tumbe dryers
  18. amazing thunderstorms

I'm sure there are many more, and there are certainly many things that drive me nuts, but right now, I'm feeling very content, so I thought I'd share. .... the kids wanted toad-in-the-hole for dinner but it was late so I substituted with breakfast pancakes from the mix, grilled sausages and british (Bisto) gravy ...and the growed-ups had fried onions too. It worked a treat, and got me thinking how there are many things all-american that work so well for this bunch of limeys
