Since so many are showing state pride, here is my little blurb. But I will clarify some things for folks.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE WYOMINGITE WHEN:
1. "Vacation" means going east or west on I-80 for the weekend.
2. You measure distance in hours. *NOTE- It is perfectly acceptable here for folks to drive 5 hours ONE WAY to go shopping or eat at a fancy restaurant*
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard,
without flinching.
6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including
weddings).
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both
unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to
use them.
9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. *NOTE- EXACTLY!!! Every trick or treater is a skier. Must ask carefully about their costume*
10. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with
snow.
11. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road
construction.
12. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your
blue spruce.
13. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.
14. Down South to you means Utah or Colo.
15. A brat is something you eat.
16. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.
17. You go out to a tail gate party every Friday.
18. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost. Or you wake up to find 3 inches of fresh snow in the morning.
19. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
20. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."
21. You have uttered the term "greenie" . *NOTE- That is somebody from Colorado. Easily noticeable by the green license plates. It really is a term of endearment*
22. Folks from "the north", are Canadians.
23. When you hear of the need to protect our border, you initially assume they mean the Canadian border.
24. You learn that fueling your vehicle is a plan worthy of writing down. With 100+ miles between towns, you can't just pull in somewhere when the lite comes on. In the winter time, it may take you 40 gallons to go 180 miles.
25. Bears, rattlesnakes, elk, moose, mountain lion- all critters you see in town and all critters you have eaten.
26. You use a logging chain as a windsock
