I love me some Idaho

I saw this list on Facebook today and couldn't resist posting it.  In college my roommates always gave me a lot of grief because I was loud and proud to be from Idaho.  I was always trying to convince them to live there (although ironically I moved away from there after high school and still haven't made it back!) I could relate to each item on the list, and I added the last one.  Idaho is the best!) We sure do miss that place

1. If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don’t work there, you live in Idaho.

2. If you’ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Idaho.

3. If you’ve had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number, you live in Idaho.

4. If ‘vacation’ means going anywhere …south of Salt Lake City for the weekend, you live in Idaho.

5. If you measure distance in hours, you live in Idaho.

6. If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Idaho.

7. If you have switched from ‘heat’ to ‘A/C’ and back again in the same day, you live in Idaho.

8. If you install security lights on your house and garage but leave both unlocked, you live in Idaho.

9. If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Idaho.

10. If you design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Idaho.

11. If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph –you’re going 80, and everyone is still passing you, you live in Idaho.

12. If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Idaho.

13. If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Idaho.

14. If you find 10 degrees ‘a little chilly’ you live in Idaho.


15. If you know how to prepare potatoes in at least 5 different ways (baked, mashed, french fried, funeral, hashbrowns, scalloped, sautéed, etc.) you live in Idaho.

Ha ha ha so true! I especially loved the one about pot holes being filled in in the winter! The roads are clear for the moment and I was just complaining to Jared about all the stinking pot holes!

Oh and also love the one about hitting a deer. I think Wade just hit his 3rd one?... To be fair though, the third one was hit in Wyoming!
