Astonished newcomer has questions
(Reprinted from the Idaho Statesman)

I have been a resident of Idaho for a full month, having moved here from another state that will remain unnamed.

I have several questions with not-so-obvious answers:

Why are people here so nice and courteous?

Why did it take me only 20 minutes to get my driver’s license, an experience that in my previous residence took half a day waiting in line, plus the aggravation of dealing with bored and discourteous public employees?

Why are drivers generally courteous and patient? I have learned not to honk my horn and obey the speed limit in only 30 days!

I feel at home already.
