You know you are from Colorado When....

Living in Colorado, we always hear some funny sayings that do hold true when you live in Colorado ---

 

1.   You always know which direction is West.   (the mountains never move)

 

2.   You're always waiting for the moment your entire state erupts into wildfires every June through August.

 

3.  The snow stopped, so you then see some people wearing shorts and hiking boots.

 

4.   The need to shovel to get to the BBQ grill, no matter what time of year it is.

 

5.  You struggle to figure out which brewery to meet friends at --- there are so many to choose from!

 

6.  You were always jealous of Jake Jabs, as he got to play with the tigers in the American Furniture commercials.

 

7.   Denver just had 5 inches of snow, and it is a normal day.....school is still in, still need to go to work....lives goes on, no biggie!

 

8.  You have no accent at all, but can hear other people’s.

 

9.  You know you’re from COLORADO if:    "Humid" is over 25%.  It's MUGGY!

 

10.   You actually know that South Park is a real place not just a show on TV. 

 

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

 

12.  A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you, or deer laying in your front yard.

 

13.  If it rains more than 2 days straight you compare the weather to being in Seattle.

 

14.  You go for a walk in the neighborhood, and smell a "skunk".  NOPE, just pot!  

 

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

 

Some of these you will only chuckle if you live here, and you KNOW. 

 

   Happy Sunday!

Hello Joan - these local/regional/state differences show our "uniqueness" while showing many comparisons.

Thanks for the listed that added smiles to our faces.

We have a rainy and cold day in Maryland. I am thankful that we do not have snow.

Roy Kelley we still have snow on the ground from the foot we got on Tuesday.  Hasn't been above 30 yet.   Glad my post provided a smile!

Joan, interesting list! Apparently some folks from Colorado don't care for the snow. I just sold a family from Fort Collins a home in coastal NC, to escape the cold

Hi Joan,  Thanks for sharing - my son just moved to Colorado.  He keeps us posted on the similarities between Colorado and Wisconsin.  The biggest difference is the mountains there.  We don't have any here and I think he really enjoys them.

Very cute and very funny, Joan. And by the way... South Park is a real place in Charlotte, as well!

Nina Hollander I WAS going to add --- when you see license plates from FL, AZ and TX, you KNOW they don't have snow tires!    Still chuckling!    That would be a good post!
