Difference

Country road-
Where can get to a stop sign and text your friend back in a long elaborate conversation that takes you 20+ minutes, check the weather and your Facebook and no one ever honks from behind to tell you to go.
City road-
Where during the cycle of one light the following passes in front of you...an Indian (from Jaipur), an Indian (from the Choctaw Nation), a Swede, a dog with three legs being walked with two pugs (all wearing sweaters mind you), 2 Chanel bags, 3 high end strollers being pushed by moms in Yoga pants with Starbucks Ventis in the cup holders, an Italian grandfather wearing a full suit, and a fantastically dressed gay couple. Before you can tell "who" the gay couple are wearing a horn is blaring behind you to go because the light turned green .012 seconds ago.

 
Country-
See the corn being harvested by huge combines.

 
City-
See yet another great building being razed by a huge wrecking ball for another Coming Soon Bubble Tea Joint.

Country-
Heard when the sun sets:
Tree tops moving with the wind, owls, coyotes.

City-
Heard when the sun sets:
Drunks in the alley, a car bouncing off of the curb and the vehicle behind it while trying to parallel park, the train dropping off and picking up.

 
Country-
Out to dinner having meat, potatoes, iceberg lettuce salad.

City-
Out to dinner having...whatever you can imagine!

 
Country-
Sunshine, laughter, life.

City-
Sunshine, laughter, life.

Oh, how I love them both!
