Well, I ran out of steam this year coming up with all original material (must be the sleep depravation), so I’ve modified some of Jeff Foxworthy’s comments on Montana.
- “Vacation” to me means going shopping for the weekend in Great Falls or Kalispell.
- Parking our car for the night involves an extension cord.
- Joe considers it a sport to gather our food by drilling through 8 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by.
- Our state makes the national news primarily because it houses the coldest spot in the nation (where Joe and I tied the knot last November at the courthouse!).
- I’m starting to refuse to buy things because they’re “too Spendy.”
- All our local hotels and restaurants are closed October through May.
- I’ve seen Joe wear shorts and a parka at the same time.
- I now know how to correctly pronounce Butte, Havre, Valier, Dupuyer and Choteau.
- We measure distance in hours.
- Joe can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching. I don’t flinch any more, but I do hang on.
- It’s common to see people wearing hunting clothes or rodeo clothes at social events.
- The largest traffic jam in Browning centres around a high school basketball game.
- There are more people at work on Christmas Eve Day than on Opening Deer Rifle Season.
- We plan William’s Halloween costume to fit over a Snowsuit.
- My favourite: driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
- There are two season in East Glacier Park: winter and relatives. (Thanks for this one, Beth!)
- A brat is something we eat. (And what’s with “red weenies” and “fry bread”?)
- I’m starting to find 0 degrees Farenheit “warming up.”
▲My nieces and nephew finally get a cousin. William has seven fabulous cousins on Joe’s side.
