Those are good, except Wyoming's is really "Like no place on Earth--If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes it will change"
And since I mowed my lawn last week, and we're in the middle of a blizzard right now. It is more true.:D

[bigtank]

Where in Wyoming do you live?

[Fishwife]

Actually Debi, that's Maryland's "real" motto, too. We're in the middle of a heat wave right now. Temps in the high 80s to 90s. I have NEVER had my AC on this early in the year. At least it is cool enough at night to open the windows. And last evening we had the most AMAZING thunderstorms. People were crawling along at 35-40 mph on the expressways. Took me 1 1/2 hours to get home. Only good thing is it may have added a few more inches to our drought depleted resevoirs and wells.

We say that about New England too. I think it is a wacky pattern we are in. The temps dropped 30 degrees in twenty minutes the other day.

Evanston:D I think it applies to everyone this year!

[Aquaman]

Heck I figured that Florida changed its motto to If you don't like it we'll recount[/] or [i]We can count! Really!!

[puff the magic fish]

Just about every state that I have been in there are people saying, "If you dont like the weather, give it a couple minutes, it will change".

I have heard that in Flordia, as well as Illinois.

New Jersey:

You can live somewhere better, but you can't pay more.

NJ, small state, but our politicians are big time corrupt.

Na na na naaa na... our politicians are more corrupt than yours.

[INNOVATOR]

Hey O'Man, wanna add another to New jersey's collection? We can give ya Gray Davis, curtesy of Cali, and even throw in his energy plan all for the low low price of FREE! :D

[cal3v]

Good motto for california. But actually though, I wish they all could be California girls...

[INNOVATOR]

I think the movie said it all for Cali: Dude, where's my car?

[NewMariner]

I think this should be Texas' motto

"How do you Like your Inmates.....Fried? Or Burnt to a Crisp?

[G-money]

Nah, ours is really...

"Minnesota - don't like the weather - wait 5 minutes."


Last week, 92 degrees one day and 4" of snow exactly 7 days later. The resta y'all are sissies! :lol:

[gas4544]

I thought Minnesota changed to "Our governor can beat up your governor."
