You know you live in Oregon when....

Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars
waiting to pass a motor home on the highway.

A "Vacation" means going to Portland for
the weekend.

You measure distance in hours.

You know several people who have hit deer
more than once.

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

You use a down comforter in the summer.

Your grandparents drive 65 mph through 2 feet of
water during a raging rainstorm without flinching.

You see people wearing hunting clothes at
social events.

You install security lights on your house and
garage and leave both unlocked.

You think of the major food groups as elk, deer,
fish, and berries.

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

There are 7 empty cars running in the parking
lot at the BiMart store at any given time.

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

Driving is better in the winter because almost
everybody stays home.

You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and
flannel pajamas.

You know all the important seasons:
Almost winter, Winter, Still raining,
Road construction, Deer season,
and Elk season.

It takes you 3 hours to go to the store for
one item even when you're in a rush because
you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.
