I could relate to maybe half of the items on the list - which got me to thinking and looking at a map: Wenatchee is NOT eastern Washington! It's CENTRAL Washington.
Hence, the new list for Central Washingtonites.
You know you live in Central Washington if...
- There are night-crawlers in your refrigerator.
- You or someone you know (YOSYK) takes a week's vacation every year for hunting season.
- You are bothered with neither much rain nor much wind.
- You refer to any place on the other side of the mountains as "Seattle."
- You refer to many places in Eastern Washington as "Spokane."
- You can accurately pronounce almost any city name in Washington, because you're not far from any of them.
- Your dogs roam free, or can.
- There is an orchard nearby to dump your food waste in.
- You would never, EVER call an orchard a "farm."
- It usually takes the same amount of time to get from point A to point B, not matter what the time of day (in other words, traffic isn't an issue).
- You are sad because the last drive-in teater in the area closed down.
- You've taken a class field trip to a dam or fish hatchery, or both.
- You gift Aplets and Cotlets to your out-of-town guests.
- Sons of orchardists and sons of orchard workers go to school together, where the population is about half Caucasian, half Hispanic, no Asians, and maybe one or two African-Americans.
- YOSYK works "cherries" every summer.
- Forest fires outnumber house fires in the summer.
- The obvious, easiest, DUH university to go to is.....you guessed it! Central Washington University!
- Among your friends and colleagues, there are about equal parts UW and WSU fans.
Have any to add?
