I've seen severals of these that were close, but Jeff pretty much nailed it.<br /><br /><br />Pacific Northwest.... According to Jeff Foxworthy<br /><br /> <br /><br />1. You know the state flower (Mildew)<br />2. You feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or paper in the trash.<br />3. Use the statement "sun break" and know what it means.<br />4. You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.<br />5 You know more people who own boats than air conditioners.<br />6. You feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant.<br />7. You stand on a deserted corner in the rain waiting for the "Walk" Signal.<br />8. You consider that if it has no snow or has not recently erupted, it is not a real mountain.<br />9. You can taste the difference between Starbucks, Seattle's Best, and Veneto's.<br />10. You know the difference between Chinook, Coho and Sockeye salmon.<br />11. You know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Issaquah, Oregon,Yakima and Willamette.<br />12. You consider swimming an indoor sport.<br />13. You can tell the difference between Japanese, Chinese and Thai food.<br />14. In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark - while only working eight-hour days.<br />15. You never go camping without waterproof matches and a poncho.<br />16. You are not fazed by "Today's forecast: showers followed by rain," and "Tomorrow's forecast: rain followed by showers."<br />17. You have no concept of humidity without precipitation<br />18. You know that Boring is a town in Oregon and not just a state of mind. <br />19. You can point to at least two volcanoes, even if you cannot see through the cloud cover.<br />20. You notice, "The mountain is out" when it is a pretty day and you can actually see it.<br />21. You put on your shorts when the temperature gets above 50, but still wear your hiking boots and parka.<br />22. You switch to your sandals when it gets about 60, but keep the socks on.<br />23.

<br /><br />Like I keep reminding my wife (who loves it), there ain't hardly anything on your dinner table that grows in weather like this, so how good can it be for ya! <br /><br />Personally, I think the reason that there are so many liberals in these parts is because of a Vitamin D deficiency. That along with the SAD syndrome (cloud depression) makes people cleave to the kind and fair sounding tripe that the Dems have developed.
