If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March,
You might live in Wisconsin.
If someone in a store offers you assistance & they don't work there,
You might live in Wisconsin.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead,
You might live in Wisconsin.
If you have ever worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You might live in Wisconsin.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches,
You might live in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin
My friend Noni often sends me "You know you are a Texan if ..." lists. Today Peggy (or Rich?), our neighbor across the street, sent me a list about Wisconsin that I thought I would share with you. Enjoy!

I think I died a little on #5.....Geeze- you scare me.
I totally am with you on #2, #3, #4, #6 & #11. Are you SURE you're not a South Carolinian??
Sunny,
Trust me! I don't identify with the driving-in-the-blizzard one at all. I do drive in snow, but I have yet to understand those folks who drive 70 miles an hour down a country road that is covered with the white stuff.
Oh thank goodness!! Snow I can drive in-Cautiously- but any sleet or ice and I'm homebound. I can't tell you the times I've had work call me and say "We're sending someone to pick you up"...and I've had to tell them..."No- you don't UNDERSTAND...I don't drive in it- and I don't RIDE with anyone else in it."
I did that when I was 20 and almost got killed when the car we were riding in skidded out of control on an icy bridge and we came within inches of going over the side into the path of an oncoming train on the tracks below.
No- Thank- You. I'll wait til it melts.
