4. You think Central Park is "nature."
5. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual.

Love it all, can relate to it all. Especially the Phoenix references... I am an Arizonan and proud of it! I once attended a parade in July... 122 degrees. And no fatalities.

This fits.

5. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual.


You mean it doesn't?

1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car.


This one is close, except of course I only own a bike and no car.

2."y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.


Actually, y'all is both singular and plural.

4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.


Well, not quite bald on top yet, but well on my way, and the pony tail is regrowing nicely.

4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state.
5. Cars in front of you are often driven by headless people.


Yup.

Ok, so I guess I need to buy retirement homes in multiple locations.

Madam Chairman, I have an objection on California.  I know where you can make $50k and afford a house quite easily.  The beach is 2 hours away, but hey!  It never rains there either! 

It is Called Imperial Valley, and it is where we plan to retire.  Of course if you dont like Feb temps in the 70s and 80s, it is not for you!

Hey Doc,

you just blew it!! You just gave your secret away. So now you can kiss the affordable housing away. The prices are already on the rise in the Imperial Valley.

DOH!  Damn!  And I thought everyone thought florida was the place!

Oh well, my wife has her eyes on a lot now.  Guess we got to buy it before the secret spreads!
