No, not walking around the street asking people stupid questions (for those of you who are familiar with Jay Leno), although I do ask stupid questions at times also. Just some observations while walking around Seattle, where I happen to be visiting my sister right now.
Nobody jaywalks! In Florida we just cross the street whenever and wherever we want, hoping we don't get creamed by a senior citizen in a new cadillac. Here, everyone crosses at the corner and actually waits for the light to turn green. And turning cars actually stop for pedestrians! Amazing!
There really is a Starbucks on every corner.
They sell beers with 9% alcohol content! That's illegal in Florida. Florida even restricts the size of the bottle you can sell beer in. We have too many rules. But then that's our state motto - Things Are Different Here.
Every restaurant has at least one vegetarian and/or organic dish on the menu. The stores even sell organic dog food.
Speaking of dogs, the people here love their dogs with a passion. I'm sure some of these dogs live better than I do!
The people in Seattle are great! They are some of the nicest people I've come across.

In Calgary, we don't jaywalk (I used to do that until I got a ticket) Yes, you can be fined for JW in Calgary. and I have been :-(
