1) go to google.com and type in "You know you're from (your state here) if..."
2) pick out whichever list strikes your fancy and bold the ones that apply to you.
3) post it in an entry.
You know you're from Kentucky if...
1. You measure distance in minutes.
2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
4. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.
6. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.
7.You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
8.You carry jumper cables in your car . for your OWN car.
9.You know what "cow tipping" is.
10.You only own four spices: salt, pepper, chili powder, and catsup.
11.The local papers cover national and international news on one page but requires 6 pages for local gossip and sports.
12.You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
13. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."
14.You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.
15.You know whether another Kentuckian is from east, west, or middle Kentucky as soon as they open their mouth.
16. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin wal-martin" or off to "Wally World."
17.You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.
18. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. Example "What kina coke you want?"
19. Fried Catfish is the other white meat.
20.You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from Kentucky (and other places because they may know someone from Kentucky, and that explains their behavior)
Hmmm...I'm from Kentucky, but none of this applies to me or my family or friends. What does this say about the list? Stereotypes galore.

That's better than Canada's four seasons... cold, colder, coldest and construction. :D

Where I live, sometimes it's humid, sometimes over 100 degrees, sometimes below freezing. And that's just the summer of this year.
