If You Don't like the Weather...

...Then Apparently, You're SOL

Rachel Wellersdick
I have been to many states in this great land of ours. Met many people. Been to many Wal*Marts. (They don't have Wal*Marts in the DC Metropolitan area, so it was all new to me.) Each state is different. The people are different, the landscapes, the accents, the politics. And the weather, of course. But apparently, every state thinks they own the following saying: "Well, you know what they say. You don't like the weather in (insert state name here), wait ten minutes!"

I've heard people in different states say this about their own dwelling: Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado and North Carolina to name a few. I'm pretty sure I've heard someone say that about Connecticut too. So people, it's not your state that is so weather-special. It's actually global warming.

My other favorite thing was the Bible Belt. All southerners seem to think they're the buckle. I know for a fact that South Carolina, North Carolina and Oklahoma all think they're the buckle of the Bible Belt. Sorry, but you can't all be the buckle. If it was all buckle, there would be no belt. And then it would be called the Bible Buckle. And that's weird. And then everyone would claim to be the Belt of the Bible Buckle. And does there even have to be a buckle? Why not just hold it together with duct tape? That would be very punk rock.
