You silly Arizona people -- don't you know that ASU is Appalachian State University in Boone, NC?! ;)

My husband's from Tucson and would totally relate. As a Texan, I can relate to a lot of that too. Just bought a car with leather seats...ouch!

I think a lot of these apply to New Mexico too!

Not to steal the AZ thunder but this landed in my inbox today talking about NC....

YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN NORTH CAROLINA IN JULY WHEN ...

... the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.

... the trees are whistling for the dogs.

... the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

... hot water now comes out of both taps.

... you can make sun tea instantly.

... you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.

... M&Ms *do* melt in your hand.

... the temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.

... you discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.

... you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.

... you actually bur! ! n your hand opening the car door.

... you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.

... your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"

... you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

... you finally realize just why North Carolina was nicknamed "The Tarheel State."

... the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.

... a golfing foursome is more worried about having a stroke than taking one.

... hearing someone say, "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" becomes so annoying that you poke them in the eye with your heat index finger.

... farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.

... the cows are giving evaporated milk!

Y'all come experience it!
