If you measure distance in hours, you live in Idaho.
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Idaho.
If you have switched from ‘heat’ to ‘A/C’ and back again in the same day, you live in Idaho.

Good laugh, Dan! I love the bikini spud, and that the jokes aren’t mean. But I disagree with one of them, the third one from the end: If driving is better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in…Spokane! Their streets are terrible.
