Top 5 Reasons why I love living in Idaho - A little humor.

Top five reasons why I love living in Idaho

1. People who are Born and raised here (yes I’m one of them) think that God has granted them exclusive rights to the land and resources of this great state and get perturbed when those ‘out-of-starters try to infringe on those rights.

2. There really in no ‘fast lane’ on the freeway. Apparently here in Idaho you just pick a lane and commit to it for better or worse.

3. It is completely acceptable to complain about how long the journey is from south Boise to Eagle. I’ve even run into a few people who have prepared for the trip by packing extra food and water.

4. When you take a listing it is not as uncommon as you might think to see a rider atop a for sale sign that reads ‘upgrades galore and indoor plumbing.’

5. It does not matter how obviously in the wrong you are… if there is a driver with 2C plates anywhere within view it is customary to transfer blame their way.

Okay, I have a wife from IF.  So I get all this.  Except:  what county is 2C?

Brian, Some of those could easily apply to UT as well, especially #2! Thanks for the humor!

Jim,

2C is Nampa and Caldwell.  They get all the flack, warranted or not.

Pretty funny.  1 and 2 apply to North Idaho as well.  #3, just replace Eagle with Coeur d'alene.  We can get to Seattle in a lot less time than it takes to get to Boise. #4 - never seen either of those here, I'd replace it with it's not uncommon to see signs laying on the ground for long periods of time.  And #5 - just replace 2C with California!

That is very funny, although I probably do not get some of the subtle nuaces--being that I've only been to Idaho once for a week.

How nice of you to place blame on the 2C'ers... what are those again?  My sister-in-law is from ID....I just don't know what my brother sees in her.-

Brian - Ok, I have to ask.  What are 2C plates?  Are you making fun of visitors?  LOL
