You know you are from Wyoming if.......

I got this email from my Dad and just had to share. I was born and raised in Wyoming and thought this was so funny. Yes I sometimes eat ice cream in the winter. I don't live in Wyoming anymore but I live really close. I live in Idaho that is where the good job is. But maybe someday I might go back or not I really don't know.

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.'

(I scream.) 

 

You're from WYOMING if You'll eat ice cream in the winter.

 (I was eating ice cream that night my Dad read this.)

 

When the weather report says it's going to be 65 degrees, you shave your legs and wear a skirt.

 (65, whatever 45 degrees)

 

It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be canceled.

 (so true)

 

You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.

(I knew a guy that would wear shorts regardless) 

 

You have no accent at all, but can hear other people's.  (greill)

(I have an accent?) 

 

'Humid' is over 25%.

(yes) 

 

 

Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and Away from the mountains.

(landmarks none of this east or west stuff) 

 

You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one.

 

You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard.

(Yep) 

 

You buy your flowers to set out on Mother's day, but try and hold off planting them until just before Father's day.

(yes they stay in the garage until june.) 

 

You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat.

(happened every year!) 

 

You know what the Continental Divide is.

 

 

You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal.

(how would I know.) 

 

You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities.

(My dad did this, I think) 

 

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.

 

 

**You don't care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at MILE HIGH**

 (don't like football anyways)

 

Every movie theater has military and student discounts.

 

 

Everybody wears jeans to church.

(black or wranglers) 

 

You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat is Boulder, CO.

 

 

A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you.

(yes it does) 

 

Your two favorite teams do not include the RAIDERS  but do include whoever is beating the ..... out of them

(Again who cares) 

 

When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you just laugh.

 (They say the same about rivers)

 

You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you notice the sky is no longer blue.

 (which is why I will always live in the west)
