hi westy, hi andysmom, hi hairofthedog
habs just sent me this on email
does it describe you
Love, Palo


You might be from the Northwest if you:

* Feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or paper in the trash.

* Use the expression ''sun break'' and know what it means.

* Know more people who own boats than air conditioners.

* Feel overdressed wearing a suit to a nice restaurant.

* Stand on a deserted corner in the rain waiting for the ''Walk'' signal.

* Consider that if it has no snow or has not recently
erupted, it's not a real mountain.

* Know the difference between Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye
salmon.

* Know how to pronounce Sequim, Puyallup, Issaquah, Oregon, and Willamette.

* Consider swimming an indoor sport.

* Can tell the difference between Japanese, Chinese, and Thai food.

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

* Never go camping without waterproof matches and a poncho.

* Are not fazed by ''Today's forecast: showers followed by
rain, and Tomorrow's forecast: rain followed by showers.''

* You can't 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 can't see through the cloud cover.

Say, ''The mountain is out'' when it's 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 parka.

* Switch to your sandals when it gets above 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.

* Knew immediately that the view out ''Frasier's'' window was fake.

* Buy new sunglasses every year, because you can't find the old ones after such a long time.

* 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 raging rainstorm without flinching.

* Design your kid's Halloween costume to fit under a raincoat.

* Know that driving is better in the winter because almost everybody stays home.

Think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
