the girl with the out-of-state plates

oh yes,
I also just remembered something else. It is very strange to realize that no matter where you go, you are the one with the out-of-state plates. You are the one that small children will play car games with. You could be the winning plate (though likely they are still holding out for Delaware or South Dakota). Also, any time you cut someone off in traffic, or drive too slow, or try to turn from a lane that is not a turn lane, or find yourself stuck in an exit-only lane with your blinker on, the person behind you will most certainly be saying, "Look, idiot, I don't know how they drive in Texas..."

Certainly makes me sit up straighter and consider being a model driver and all-around citizen of the world...
