21. You carry jumper cables in your car --- for your OWN car.

22. You only own five spices: salt, pepper, Tony's, Tabasco and Ketchup.

23. The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 6pages for local high school sports and motor sports, and gossip.

24. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

25. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit 'a bit warm'..

26. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.

27. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past time know as 'goin' Wal-Martin' or 'off to Wally World'.

28. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees)as good chicken stew weather.

30. We don't need no dang driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can drive dag-nabbit.

21 - That's pretty common in Chicago as well, especially between November and February when the temperatures can drop to 20 degrees below zero Centigrade.

24 - Don't try to get much work done the first day of deer season in Michigan, Wisconsin, downstate Illinois, and lots of other states as well, especially outside the big cities.
