You may live in Chicago (humor)
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in Chicago . If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Chicago . If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Chicago . If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Chicago . If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of I-80 for the weekend, you live in Chicago . If you measure distance in hours, you live in Chicago . If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you live in Chicago . If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Chicago . If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you live in Chicago . If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Chicago . If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you live in Chicago .. If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Chicago . If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you live in Chicago . If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in Chicago . If you find 10 degrees 'a little chilly', you live in Chicago . |

Quote: If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Chicago .
Some years back I attended an uncle's funeral in January. Hadn't snowed in awhile so streets were clear........talk about pot holes! I would have called come of them "cave ins" or "sink holes."  |
| I've endured Chicago winters for 59 years, and always felt stoic about doing so. But since my fall, I'm driving Tony crazy with, ITS TIME TO MOVE TO FLORIDA! If the economy was better, and we could sell our home, I would be so outta here  I'm ready. Yet another sign of my advancing age  |
Yep thats New York too but very high taxes. I want out of here also. TO COLD as I have gotten older.  |
| Chicago sales tax, is the highest in the country. We have a dandy city/county government. |
seen it in regards to where I live and other places and I always find it funny  |
| I couldn't imagine up and moving when I get older, away from all my family and friends. It's always amazed me that so many people up and move to FL or AZ and those places. Although I've never lived anywhere frigid... |

We have a dandy city/county government. New York pays the highest combined state and local taxes in the country- thank you very much. (and we have the legislature judged to be the most dysfuntional). our sales tax is only 8 - 8.75 %. |
| I think this is a contest no one wants to win. I'm just glad I don't live in Cook County or the city of Chicago. |

but there are soooo many contenders 
so where in florida do you want to move - I like the south west. |
| I think even the dogs are sick of winter already I do like the pot hole one it's so true |

What make you think Florida politics is any better??
I am a little miffed. Our Gov. Richardson backed out of being named Sec. of Commerce because of "possible" mistake, but yet the proposed Sec. Treasury made "alittle" mistake about not paying taxes. Racism, the Hispanic gets booted but the white guy stays in? Hillary and Co took a few million from the Saudis, but my guy gets canned for a few bucks? Dang, thought we finally kicked the bum out of the state, but he won't leave. |
| I want to move to Florida, or somewhere warm, for the warmth, not the politics. If we move to Florida (someday) it would probably east coast. But...its still a pipe dream. (How did this little joke get so political?????)  |
