Florida

I must admit - this is true!!

You know you're a TRUE Floridian if.... Your Socks are only for bowling....
You never use an umbrella because you know the rain will be over in five
minutes.
A 'good parking place' has nothing to do with distance from the store, but
everything to do with shade.
Your winter coat is made of denim.
You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and mosquito bites.
You're younger than -50- but some of your friends are over -65-
Anything under 70 degrees is chilly

You've driven through Yee Haw Junction.
You know that no other grocery store can really compare to Publix.
Every other house in your neighborhood had blue roofs in 2004-2005.
You know that anything hurricane under a Category 3 just isn't worth waking
up for
You dread "love bug" season (and you know what "love bugs" are!)
You are on a first name basis with the Hurricane list. They aren't Hurricane

, Ivan, Jeanne & Wilma......
You know what a "snowbird" is and, more importantly when they'll leave.
You think a six-foot alligator is actually pretty 'average'.

You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee , Withlacoochee and Micanopy.
You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat, than have a
boat yourself.

You've worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas and New Years (oh yeah!)
