You know you’re from Amarillo if…

Yep, I got one of those emails. The one with the two pages of forward headers at the top and five ‘>’ at the front of each line. But this one had some gems in it. And since I am from Amarillo, I have to share a few lines

You know you are from Amarillo, Texas if…

  • Friday night high school football is a sell-out.
  • You laugh at out-of-towners who actually attempt to eat the free 72 oz. steak.
  • You think that trees naturally grow leaning to the north east.
  • You know where The Canyon is.
  • You’ve never seen smog, but you’ve been through a dust storm.
  • You know that the Cadillac Ranch isn’t a real ranch.
  • 40 mph wind is, ‘a little breezy.’
  • You’ve had to pull over and remove tumbleweeds from the grill of your car.
  • You’ve seen rain, hail, sleet, and snow all in the same storm.
  • You’ve seen tires on the roofs of trailer houses and you know they’re there to hold the roof on.
  • You know how to pronounce Dumas.
  • You accept the fact that the most prominent vehicles on the streets are pickup trucks, SUVs, tractors, then cars (in that order).
  • You can get a sunburn one weekend and the next weekend it snows!
  • Some mountain weirdo or hill country hippie has called you a ‘flat lander‘ and you were proud of it.
  • You tell people you live in a red brick house with a tan shingled roof and and a tiny little tree in the front yard, and then realize that describes every house within a 5-mile radius.
