Well, it's been pretty cold here in Phoenix the last couple of days---but not as cold as my hometown up in Idaho! Brrrrrr! So in homage to my Idaho roots I have:
YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM IDAHO IF......
You've never met a celebrity.
Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
"Vacation" means going to Boise
You haven't seen the biggest Country Western bands until ten years after they were popular
You measure distance in minutes
You know several people who have hit a deer
You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way
You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day
You think ethanol makes your truck "run a lot better".
Stores don't have bags; they have sack
You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year
You end your sentences with an unnecessary reposition. Ex: Where's my coat at? or If you go to town I wanna go with.
All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, or animal.
You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked
You carry jumper cables in your car
You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" is
You only own 3 spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent
The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires 6 pages for cattle prices and sports
You think that opening day of deer season is a national holiday
You know which leaves make good toilet paper
You find -20 degrees F "a little chilly"
You know all 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction
