How have you adjusted to Buffalo?: "It's been cool. The people here are real nice. There is not a lot that's different from where I'm from (Waycross, Ga.). Out here in Orchard Park it's pretty rural, just like down south. There are not any tall buildings and a lot of wildlife. Actually, I've seen more wildlife walking around here, stuff like deer, skunks and chipmunks, than I see back home. I hear about all the snow they get up here, so I'm looking really forward to that."
