2 things about pittsburgh...

1) I went in to a post office today for the first time. It was amazing. there was no bullet-proof glass separating the patrons from the postal workers!!! It was a nice long counter where you could interact with the teller without speaking into a microphone and having to alternate putting the sides of the glass cage where the package goes.

...I just realized that my bank also doesn't have crazy glass cages for the tellers!

2) Living in NYC for the last 2 years, I was very fortunate to be spared driving. No one needs a car in NYC. Now that I'm in Pgh, and have to drive around, I've remembered how many horrific drivers there are in the world. The major problem Pgh drivers have is they don't understand the concept of "lanes." They think they can just drive down the middle of any road, whether there's traffic or not. Sometimes I want to honk at them and yell "PICK A FUCKING LANE!" but I have (so far) been able to control myself. It's not easy.
