Been here for 3 weeks now and here are my initial observations:
1. The pace of life here is more sedate than Los Angeles. Which is a bit inconvenient when it comes to banking (0900-1700 on weekedays), but I can live with it. There are countervailing advantages.
2. People here are more courteous. A big plus.
3. Football is the state church. "Bear" Bryant actually has a shrine to his honor. You're either crimson or orange/blue. All others are not even considered.
4. There is nothing sexier than hearing a woman speak a southern accent. Unless it's German..or English...maybe. *grin*
