12. San Antonio is a vacation spot!
13. The word "jeet" is actually a phrase meaning, "Did you eat?"

24. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
25. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a bit warm."
26. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.

28. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good stew weather.
29. Fried catfish is the other white meat.
