You know you're from ALASKA if:

You can relate to 5 or more of this things...

1. Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a motor home on the highway.
2. "Vacation" means going to Anchorage for the weekend.
3. You measure distance in hours.
4. You know several people who have hit moose more than once.
5. You use a down comforter in the summer.
6. Your grandparents drive at 65 mph through 13 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
7. You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
8. You think of the major food groups as: deer meat, beer, fish, and berries.
9. You carry jumper cables in your car, and your sister knows how to use them.
10. There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at the grocery store at any given time.
11. You know what Bunny Boots are.
12. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
13. You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
14. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.
15. 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.
16. You didn't know what the word "county" meant, and we were never taught about "area codes"... 907 is all you had to know.
17. You think bald eagles aren't that great.
18. You know to go to Best Buy a month after a CD released because that’s when it will FINALLY arrive in Alaska.
19. You wish seagulls came with a mute button.
20. You can go to McDonalds and order off the $1.50 menu which they feel is equivalent to the $0.99 menu.

OK folks, this is just the first 20, come back tomorrow for the next 20!!

All funny. I am guessing I would prefer to visit Alaska opposed to living there, although some of them sounded A.O.K to me. Hunting clothes at social events?...why not?

OK, I think this is great, but you should clarify that Valdez doesn't even have a McDonalds (they haven't gotten one in the last few years have they?) I remember when we had a Burger King for a few months though.

At least the sexy lingerier (flannel pjs and tube socks) is comfortable! I love your lists about Alaska. You are so creative!
