Lets go on our travels:

You Know You're In Arizona When

YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN ARIZONA WHEN

You've signed so many petitions to recall governors you can't remember the name of the incumbent

You notice your car overheating before you drive it

You can say "Hohokam" and people don't think you're laughing funny

You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water

You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River

You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink

You can hear the weather forecast of one hundred and fifteen degrees without flinching

You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour... and it'll be over hundred degrees

You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves

You discover, in July, that it only takes two fingers to drive your car

You know you can make sun tea instantly

You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace

The best parking place is determined by shade -- not distance

You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance

Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one

It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both people and cars

You can pronounce the words: "Saguaro", "Tempe", "San Xavier", "Canyon de Chelly", "Mogollon Rim" and "Cholla"

You actually burn your hand opening the car door

Sunscreen w/a formula less than fifty spf is a joke

Sunscreen is sold year round, kept right at the checkout counter

You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mailbox

Some fool can market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them

Worse -- some fools actually try to jog

You know that hot air balloons can't rise, because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon

No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car

You can understand the reason for a town named "Why"
