Reason #102 > Everyone is Nice!

I have lived in CA now for 2 months.  Only once have a encountered a nasty clerk (@post office).  I cannot say how much I do not take for granted the kindness of everyone that I have crossed paths with.  Whether it is a clerk, a person behind me in line, people at the park, or tables sitting next to us in a restaurant - no one is afraid to strike up conversation, give a compliment, ask a question, or just chime on in with their opinion.  I love it! It was not like this in LV.  If only everyone really knew how grateful I am....
