first week's impression of minneapolis...

so i've been in minneapolis now for just over a week.... thought i'd write about my first impressions... so far i'm having a good time. good weather, i really like my apt (although i still need my sofa), and still more time to explore... here are just a few impressions:

- over/under on how many speeding tickets i get in the next 12 months: 2 ... speedlimits are generally way tooo low (55mph)... the hard part is that the roads are pretty empty most of the time...already driven by two cops with their radar guns out... luckily havent been pulled over yet...i've actually used my cruise control to stay at 60mph!! yes its that bad...

- cost of living isnt that much different... well i havent noticed a big difference yet.. drinks are a little less than in LA..thats a plus .. but no hefeweizen at the liquor store across the street!

- woot woot for directv and other technology... its nice to catch a dodger game with vin scully doing play by play after a long day... and it'll keep me sane during the winter with ducks games...

- everyone keeps mentioning how its been a colder summer than usual...and that it will probably lead to a colder winter than avg.....yay.

- more thoughts to come...
