You Might Live In Wyoming If...

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.
