Freeways can only go north and south. Not east and west..

A1A and ALT A1A are the same streets.

Once the light turns green, only 3 cars can go through the
Intersection. Eight more go through on yellow and 4 on red.

Your blinker means nothing.

English is our second language.

It is perfectly acceptable to brag about the size of your generator.

There's always a Walgreens across the street from a CVS on almost
every corner - with more being built every day.

Jupiter is a city, not a planet.

Learn how to dress in layers. It will be 95 degrees outside but inside
any restaurant or business it's 65 degrees.

The same neighbor who smiles at you everyday will be the first one
to rat you out if you are violating water restrictions.

THIS IS TRUE.

Lived in east central FL. Looks to be pretty much on target.

Paul's right, you are a quick study... 'cept a clematis is a flower and English is the third language.
