you live where?!?!!?

Hehe...
one small correction: As a former upstate NY'er, it's not moose, it's DEER. And yes, they do close the schools on Opening Day of hunting season...

Glad to know that, by these standards, I don't live in the deep South. Just living in the South, even as a Southerner, can be a unique experience!

#1 for the deep South though, needs modifying...it should read as follows (IMNSHO):

1. You can rent a movie, buy a pizza (or any other kind of meal), and buy bait in the same store.

By the way, it doesn't even have to be the deep South for this to be true!

Can I make one addition, please?
1. You can rent a movie, buy a pizza (or any other kind of meal), TAN , and buy bait in the same store.

As most people seem to forget when it is 90 degrees in NYC and 90 degrees in FLA it is still hot.

You're from Maine if......

1. you have 5 seasons---summer, fall, winter, MUD, and spring.

2. When someone asks you for directions, you say "you can't get there from here".

3. Using an RV for camping IS NOT actually CAMPING!

4. Your boat is worth more than your car.

5. You MUST own a truck.......for hauling your own garbage to the town dump.....and, of course, for hauling the BOAT.

6. When asked how your wonderfully cooked meal was, you respond "WICKED GOOD"!!

Another one, gleaned from hard experience:

"You know you're an upstate NY'er if, on opening day of hunting season, the schools are closed, and for the benefit of the City-folk, all large farm animals are LABELLED 'COW' or 'HORSE' " (so the hunters don't mistake them for deer)

Being from Minnesota I can say that in the midwest there are only 2 seasons:

Winter and Construction (a 2 week period in late July)! :

i am still upset about that dang tractor in the middle of the city holding up traffic
