There have been so many sad news here lately that I thought this post will bring a smile to the ones of you who can identify with the message.
By the way, it's 50 degrees, with rain and wind today.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A NEW ENGLANDER WHEN:
>
"Vacation" means going anywhere south of New York City for the weekend.
>
You measure distance in hours.
> You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
> You have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day, and back again.
> You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard
without flinching.
> You install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both
unlocked.
> You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend/wife knows how to
use them.
> You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
> Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
> You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road
construction.
> Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue
spruce.
> "Down South" to you means Philadelphia.
> Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new shed.
> Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
> You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
> You find 10 degrees "a little chilly."
