You live in Wyoming if...
- A winter statistic: 98% OF AMERICANS SCREAM BEFORE GOING IN THE DITCH ON A SLIPPERY ROAD. THE OTHER 2% ARE FROM WYOMING AND THEY SAY, 'HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS.'
- You're from Wyoming if you'll eat ice cream in the winter.
- When the weather report says it's going to be 65 degrees, you shave your legs and wear a skirt. (Won't share with you how many times I've shaved my leg in five months).
- It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be canceled.
- You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.
- 'Humid' is over 25%.
- Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and Away from the mountains.
- You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one.
- You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard.
- You buy your flowers to set out on Mother's day, but try and hold off planting them until just before Father's day.
- You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat.
- You know what the Continental Divide is. (We pass over it 3 times when going to visit the kids).
- You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities. (I know this from experience in my Pontiac GS)
- You always know the elevation of where you are.
- You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going to snow tomorrow.
- A deer or antelope on your front porch or eating your grass doesn't bother you.
- When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you just laugh.
- You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you notice the sky is no longer blue.
- Accepted transportation is a four-wheeler with a case of beer strapped on the back.
- It's normal for people to go to Wal-Mart in their PJ's and houseshoes.
- You leave your truck running to run into the store on cold days.
- Parking between the yellow lines is optional.
This is all so true. That's what makes it so much fun to live here.
