Rick,

I figured you might get a kick out of this email that I received today
from a friend in the Bellingham area.

_______________________________________________

The Pacific Northwest According to Jeff Foxworthy...

You might be from the Pacific Northwest if:

1. You know the state flower (Mildew)

2. You feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or paper in the trash.

3. Use the statement "sun break" and know what it means.

4. You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.

5. You know more people who own boats than air conditioners.

6 You feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant.

7. You stand on a deserted corner in the rain waiting for the "Walk"
Signal.

8. You consider that if it has no snow or has not recently erupted, it
is not a real mountain.

9. You can taste the difference between Starbucks, Seattle's Best, and
Veneto's.

10. You know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon.

11. You know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Issaquah, Oregon, Yakima
and Willamette.

12. You consider swimming an indoor sport.

13. You can tell the difference between Japanese, Chinese and Thai food.

14. In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark -
while only working eight-hour days.

15. You never go camping without waterproof matches and a poncho.

16. You are not fazed by "Today's forecast: showers followed by rain,"
and "Tomorrow's forecast: rain followed by showers."

17. You cannot wait for a day with "showers and sun breaks."

18. You have no concept of humidity without precipitation.

19. You know that Boring is a town in Oregon and not just a state of
mind.

20. You can point to at least two volcanoes, even if you cannot see
through the cloud cover.

21. You notice, "The Mountain is out" when it is a pretty day and you
can actually see it.

22. You put on your shorts when the temperature gets above 50, but still
wear your hiking boots and parka.

24. You have actually used your mountain bike on a mountain.

23. You switch to your sandals when it gets about 60, but keep the socks
on.

25. You think people who use umbrellas are either wimps or tourists.

26. You knew immediately that the view out of Frasier's window was fake.

27. You buy new sunglasses every year, because you cannot find the old
ones after such a long time.

28. You measure distance in hours.

29. You often switch from "heat" to "a/c" in the same day.

30. You use a down comforter in the summer.

31. You carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use
them.

32. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit under a raincoat.

33. You know all the important seasons:
       Almost Winter,
        Winter,
        Still Raining (Spring),
        Road Construction (Summer),
        Deer & Elk season (Fall).
