You know you live in a small state when....

You have to wait till the wild turkeys cross the driveway before you can leave work.


True story - happened today. I was the third car in line waiting for them to move along.

Two of them looked scrumptious.

And no I am not going to tell you where I work.

That is bad.



You know you live in a small state when you really did grow up in a no or one traffic light town.

Hey now! That's how it is in my town! We've only had this stop light for about 12 or so years.

I can look out almost any window in this house and see a cow. I live on a dairy farm so...that's pretty easy.

Lol, how so?

I wouldn't call the 'state' small just because there are cows in it!! Maine is a pretty darn big state. The town might be considered small though.

I've had to stop for wild turkeys in the road before. And deer. And other wonderful examples of God's creation.

That is really funny... the Turkey thing! I live in the SMALLEST state... literally! One thing that is funny is that I go back and fourth living between Providence and Los Angeles. Los Angeles ALONE is twice the size of Rhode Island. I can not even imagine how many Rhode Islands could fit into the state of California!

God Bless,

Have you been in "The County" lately?!?!?

 

[ASLER86]

LOL...this is amusing...

I'm in college, so I'm not home that often but here's some:

You know that you are in a small state/town when...

You see cows prancing down the roadway (yes, I did see that once, they were almost galloping)

You're driving down the road at night and the heck gets scared out of you as you see a big brown cow standing on the side of the road (at first I thought it was a bear, but it was a cow at the heck got scared out of it too...I thought that it was going to jump out in front of my car)

There are only two stop lights in your town.

Your town doesn't even have a high school, you go to a regional h.s

Your sitting in class and you smell cow manure when the wind changes

If you get stuck behind two cars and its considered a traffic jam

You're on your way to work and you get stuck going 5 miles an hour behind a tractor that is taking up a lane and a half.

Etc...

... when you get stuck behind farm equipment on Main street and don't mind.

... when looking for deer on the side of the road becomes second nature.

... when a new stop light is put in the next town over and it takes everyone a year to get used to it, and at least two years later it's referred to as the new light.

... when a new park gets put in on the edge of town, and it's still considered new five years after being put in.

... you get all the neighborhood gossip from the mailman/ woman whether or not you want it!

... when you and coworkers always have mutual acquantances.

... when you get shipped 10 miles from home to go to school because there aren't enough kids in your home town to go to the middle school 2 miles from home.

When people always ask "what state is that in?"

When you are the only person you know under the age of 35.

When your town has more cows then people.
