Slow …

This place is slower than Bonham or even Jacksboro. Some 20 years from now, if enough exurban Houston refugees live here, that may be different, but now?

Some people here are probably getting whiplash at how fast they think I talk.

And, that’s the half of my worries. I’m afraid that, at some point after I establish a routine, I’ll be bored here on the job.

Meanwhile, people ask me about how I feel about being here, how I feel about the city, etc. I’m honest enough to balance politeness and positive thinking by saying, “OK so far.”
