2 weeks in L'ville

I can't believe we have been living in Louisville for TWO weeks already.  Yesterday made the official two week mark.  Boy, time does fly when you're having fun - OR NOT HAVING FUN as has been the case with the storm and all, but hey, life goes on and I must say I think I have adjusted pretty well.  
I'm sure I will grow to like Kentucky just fine, but man, there are some strange things here.  There is this house a couple of streets over that looks like something Aaron and I saw in Jamaica on our honeymoon.  We are going to try to take pics.  I'm not even sure how to explain it.  I think a lot of people consider Kentucky to be a "Southern" state or nothing but "barns and horses" (Dave Huska), but not here in L'ville.  It's the big city to me.  People don't wave at each other when passing down the street like they do in Easley.  Banks are open on Sundays (at least some of them are).  Most people just park wherever they feel like it - i.e. they are driving down the road and decide they want to go in to the store on Main Street.  They just pull over and park in the right hand lane.  I've seen several homeless people - even had one sit down beside me in a church we visited.  That's not likely to happen in SC!  There are no Publix Grocery Stores :(, no Bi-lo grocery stores.  There is however a Wal-Mart.  I guess those are anywhere in the world.  The roads here are crazy too - one road can go on and on for miles - cross the railroad tracks, turn diagonally, circle and then go back straight without ever changing names. Seriously, they are crazy.  Those are just a few of the things I can think of right now.  

Oh yeah - we visited another church on Sunday.  It was a lot like Brushy Creek and someplace we think we will try again.  We felt pretty "at home" there.
