Reflections on Moving to North Carolina (1)

Miscellaneous and Random Thoughts re: Moving from OH to NC

The summer day length in Hendersonville is actually about 30 minutes shorter than it is in Columbus.  We expected the shift in sunrise/sunset, having lived in both extremes of this Eastern time zone.  But, this is the first time we have moved sufficiently south or north to notice the impact on day length.

Changes to Make or Consider:

-        Change our college football favorite team from “Whoever is playing Ohio State this weekend” to a “local” team such as Clemson or Tennessee.
-        Consider finding a new pro football team to replace the Buffalo Bills…especially if Trump becomes their new owner.
-        Since there is only one option for cable TV providers in Hendersonville, consider cutting the cord and relying on Netflix, Roku, and the like to fulfill our needs.
-        Find a new cell phone provider, since T-Mobile is effectively a non-player in and around the Carolina mountains.  Despite their abysmal customer service, we may have to return to Verizon.
