Pennsylvania is a wonderful land, filled with rolling green hills, kind-hearted folk, and cheesesteaks so greasy they’ll soak through your paper plate. Mmmm. There are some difficult things about living here, though, that every Pennsylvanian experiences…
- State budget? Guess that’s not in the cards this year.
Wikimedia Commons That is not a group of Pennsylvanians happily looking on as Tom Wolf signs the 2016 budget. But, we have other important things to worry about, such as…
- Serious debates about whether it’s “pop” or “soda.”
Allen/ Flickr Likewise, do you drink from a bubbler or a water fountain? Do you trip and fall because the road is slippery or slippy? We’re all sorts of confused about language here in PA.
- The weather is also quite confused.
sharyn morrow/ Flickr 65 and sunny in February? Honestly, it’s not even that unusual anymore. The frustrating part is trying to decide what to wear each morning.
- Stinkbugs everywhere!
Joe Thomissen/ Flickr You probably have gotten used to seeing these buggers in your house.
- Stinkbugs aren’t the only critter that might ruin your day.
Wally Gobetz/ Flickr We have deer just waiting to jump in front of your car. Better watch out!
- The roads are so bad, that we have an entire state park dedicated to a pot hole.
Clint/ Flickr To be fair, it is the largest pot hole in the country… Anyway, Pennsylvania roads aren’t really our crowning glory, to say it kindly.
- Ever been stuck behind an Amish buggy in traffic?
Jenni Konrad/ Flickr It’s one way to stop and smell the roses.
- Road trips from one side of Pennsylvania to the other take forever…
Tony Webster/ Flickr The state is so wide!
- And, well, in much of PA there isn’t all that much to do.
PA Problems/ Twitter We get by one way or another, though.
- Except on Sundays. Sundays can be tough.
