Random Long Distance Connection

At a Winn-Dixie somewhere in the middle of Florida, the man in line ahead of us asked, "Are you from Wisconsin?"


Several thoughts ran through my mind simultaneously. 
- How does he know?
- Am I wearing Green Bay Packers gear?
- Did he guess from my dialect?
- Wait, he sounds like he's from Wisconsin.

As The Husband and I blinked wordlessly at the man, he added, "I saw you walk in..."

- Saw us walk? Do we walk like we're from Wisconsin?

"... because I parked next to you."

Oh! He saw our licence plates. Okay.

Just a nice guy being friendly, a retiree from the midwest with tons of relatives in Milwaukee.
