1. If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Idaho.

2. If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Idaho.

3. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number, you live in Idaho.

4. If 'vacation' means going anywhere south of Salt Lake City for the weekend, you live in Idaho.

5. If you measure distance in hours, you live in Idaho.

6. If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Idaho.

7. If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' and back again in the same day, you live in Idaho.

8. If you install security lights on your house and garage but leave both unlocked, you live in Idaho.

9. If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Idaho.

10. If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Idaho.

11. If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80, and everyone is still passing you, you live in Idaho.
12. If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Idaho.

13. If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Idaho.

14. If you find 10 degrees 'a little chilly,' you live in Idaho.

15. If your neighbor is running his snowblower and leaf blower at the same time, you live in Idaho.

Idaho is terrible. Don't even THINK about moving here.

BTW, #11 isn't true. That actually describes California.

[DuncanWaring]

Ping.

[LostInBayport]

Sounds wonderful.

In MI a college student in the library wore her shirt with the map of Idaho and
“Idaho? No, you da ho.”

A classic.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I assume you live in Idaho, thus your comments.

I agree. If you are conservative move to Colorado where we can take back the country from the middle.

[Valpal1]

I didn’t hit the deer. They hit me. Bastards.

[DuncanWaring]

From another source, many years ago:

Advantage of living in Idaho - filled with people who want to be left alone.

Disadvantage of living in Idaho - filled with people who want to be left alone.

[Sirius Lee]

Sounds exactly like Maine.

#5. If you measure distance in hours, you live in Idaho.

I live in Montana and my (now deceased) Uncle measured distances in ‘beers’ —

Helena is 1 beer away...Missoula is 2 beers away.

Things were different back then. Oh and he was the City Attorney for 15+ years and the police all knew him well...

[brownsfan]

If you notice more and more California liberals as neighbors, you live in Idaho.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Not entirely true.

Filled with people who want to be left alone BY THE GOVERNMENT.

People here are friendly as can be to each other. FAR friendlier than California. You can’t walk around town without stopping to chat with strangers and new friends. We’ve had people invite us over for drinks after just meeting them. The young people are polite to a fault, too. Lots of “Sir” and “Ma’am.”

[Mercat]

Most of those apply to western Kansas.

We took family car trips through Montana in the 60s to visit relatives. The NO SPEED LIMIT days were wonderful. Cruising all day at 90 mph...you really got places quickly!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Only partially true. It is actually “If you notice more and more conservative California political refugees fleeing that shithole, you live in Idaho.”

[Veto!]

Deer do, in fact, leap onto cars, break windshields, end up dead.
I love cute little dear, thanks to a childhood influenced by movie Bambi.
My. SIL, an ID native, thinks their a nuisance, calls them “rats on stilts.”

# 7 describes Texas as well. Often.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOL! Hope you filled your freezer. :)

[SoConPubbie]

Yup, that is my experience as well.

[libertylover]

I hate it when I ask someone how far it is to somewhere and they give me an answer in hours.

Invariable, it’s way too short. If a place is 150 miles away they’ll usually say that’s 2 hours away, so AVERAGE speed of 75mph.

Uh, I’m going to a ball game 150 miles away that starts at 7, so I need to leave at 5? I don’t sink so.

[Billthedrill]

Guilty as charged, Yer Honor. But if you don’t get the wet leaves up before running the snow blower, that first run is a really ugly mess. We’re at that time right now. It’s a race between the leaf mass getting dry enough to move and that first freeze, after which there is no hope. I have seen full-growed Moose frozen into the ground bleating plaintively for help when that happens, or at least I thought I did but I was pretty drunk that night...
