Rural Reminder
You might be rural if...
- the woman behind you in line at the grocery store pulls out a twenty dollar bill to pay for your things when you discover you've left your checkbook at home. And you probably won't see her again until the County Fair.
- at the diner they know how you want your eggs without asking you first.
- you call a wrong number and end up talking for 30 minutes.
- you refer to the bypass that was built in the 70s as the "new highway".
- it's considered poor etiquette to not honk and wave to every (and we mean ALL) familiar car or pick-up you pass while driving through town.
