Hey Mach5....
You Know You're From Oregon When You...
# Feel guilty throwing an aluminum can in the trash.
# Use the word "sunbreaks" and know what it means.
# Know more than 10 words to describe a cup of coffee.
# Obey all traffic laws except "keep right unless passing."
# Never go camping without waterproof matches and ponchos.
# Feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant.
# Hear the word "ferry" and think of boats and long waits.
# Know more people who own boats than own air conditioners.
# Stand on a deserted street corner in the rain waiting for the light to change.
# Know at least eight people who work for Intel or Nike, or used to work for Tektronix.
# Are amazed by an accurate weather forecast.
# Consider if it doesn't have snow on it or has not recently erupted, regardless of altitude, it is a "hill" not a "mountain".
# Only honk your car horn if a collision is imminent; never for anything else.
# Go to a really nice bar and sit at a table.
# Think skiing always means being covered from head to toe, in snow or water.
# In winter, go to work in the dark and go home in the dark, but only have an eight hour work day.
# Can taste the difference between Starbucks, Seattle's Best and Veneto's.
# Know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon.
# Know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Issaquah, Oregon and Willamette.
# Consider swimming an indoor sport.
# Are not fazed by: "Today's forecast: showers followed by rain," and "Tomorrow's forecast: rain followed by showers."
# You cannot wait for a day with "showers and sun breaks."
# Have no concept of humidity without precipitation.
# Know that Boring is a town in Oregon and not just a state of mind.
# Can point to at least two volcanoes, even if you cannot see through the cloud cover.
# You exclaim "the mountain is out" when it is a pretty day and you can actually see it.
# Put on your shorts when the temperature gets above 50, but still wear your hiking boots and Gore-Tex coat.
# Switch to your sandals when it gets about 60, but keep the socks on.
# Have actually used your mountain bike on a mountain.
# Think people who use umbrellas are either wimps or tourists.
# Buy new sunglasses every year, because you can't find the old ones after such a long time.
# You often switch from "heat" to "a/c" in the same day.
# You use a down comforter in the summer.
# You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit under a raincoat.
# You know all the important seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Raining (spring), Road Construction (summer), and Deer & Elk season (Fall).
Any of these apply to you found this on PNW Fourm Whitelegacy98 posted it...I thought some of them were funny and agreed with some from when I lived up there...
