You know you're from California when…
- Your coworker has 8 body piercing's and none are visible.
- You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.
- Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Flower.
- You can't remember… is pot illegal?
- Where illegals have more rights than tax paying citizens.
- You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.
- You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown, and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.
- A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.
- Gas costs $2.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.
- Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.
- Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.
- It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH."
- You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cells phones.
- It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents and your still late.
- Both you AND your dog have therapists.

Okay now let's hear it from the Florida people (transplanted or not)
You Know You Live In Florida When
1. Socks are only for bowling
2. Your winter coat is a flannel shirt.
3. You never use an umbrella because the rain will be over in 5 minutes.
4. Anything under 70 degrees is chilly
5. You dread love bug season
6. You think a 6 ft alligator is actually pretty average
7. You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls
8. You know the four seasons really are: hurricane season, love bug season
tourist season and summer
9. You have hosted a hurricane party.
10. You know what a snow bird is and when they will leave.
11. A mountain is anything 100 feet above sea level.
12. You are on a first name basis with the hurricane list. They aren't Hurricane Charley
or Hurricane Ivan. You know them as Charley, Andrew, Ivan, Wilma, Irene.....etc
12. You have a drawer full of bathing suits and one sweatshirt.
13. You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee, Withlacoochee, Thonotosassa
and Micanoopy.
14. You refer to Key West as "Down South"
15. You know that no other grocery store can compare to Publix.
16. You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and mosquito bites.
17. You try not to step on lizards
18. You go swimming in December.
19. You know that Universal is way way better than Disney.
20. You've had flip flop tans on your feet.
To name a few things....there are lots more. We woke up to 29 degrees here on the west coast and
we are basically on the water. First time in a long time I had to cover plants overnight. This has been
another of several cold fronts for us. I know what all the North Easterners have gone through lately but there have
been some days this year so far where the temperatures have been lower than up North. Makes me yearn
for sweaty eyeballs again.
