Where are you from?

Even though I have lived in the south for twenty years, some people tell me: you aren't from around here, are you? No, I'm from Colorado And being from Colorado:

• When the weather report says it's going to be 65 degrees, you shave your legs and wear a skirt.
• It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be cancelled.
• You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.
• You have no accent at all, but can hear other people's. And then you make fun of them.
• '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 grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat. (that was tough!)
• You know what the Continental Divide is.
• You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal. (does anyone?)
• You went to Casa Bonita as a kid.
• You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities.
• 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. And you take a light jacket to wear every night.
• You don't care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at Mile High. And the Nuggets play at Big Mac.
• Everybody wears jeans to church.
• You have been to South Park; it is a real place not just a show on TV.
• You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat is Boulder .
• You know that it is Elitches, not Six Flags., who cares what the sign says.
• 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'
