Things just move slowly out here. I think that one of the reasons folks greet you on the street and wave at you around your neighborhood is that we all just have more time to notice each other. Neighbors introduce themselves, lend and borrow, have cookouts, and just, in general, hang out. People don't work the crazy long hours like on the coasts, and a half hour commute is considered a burden.
Don't get me started about the pace of the workplace.
Before we moved here we took a second honeymoon to Kauai. By the second or third day my body had so adjusted to the pace that I was having a lot of trouble moving more quickly than a steady shuffle. It felt great. When we got back to CA and drove home from the airport, I had culture shock in a big way. From then on, I was looking for a change of scenery to a place that would slow us down several notches. This is the place!
