Delayed Realizations

It took me three days to notice that there are no traffic lights in this country.

Additionally, no one goes to the beach.

(Probably because they're stuck in traffic.)

My mother keeps the heavy curtains drawn in her office, which would be only vaguely quirky if her windows didn't look out onto miles and miles of ocean. It's strange to be 28 before you start to seriously suspect you were adopted.
