You know you're a Floridian if -

This is so TRUE! P.S.: Jacksonville is Southern Georgia.   You know you're a Floridian if....   * Socks are only for bowling.    * You never use an umbrella because you know the rain will be over in five minutes.    * A good parking place has nothing to do with distance from the store, but everything to do with shade.      * Your winter coat is made of denim.    * You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and mosquito bites.      * You're younger than thirty but some of your friends are over 65.    * Anything under 70 degrees is chilly.    * You've driven through Yeehaw Junction.    * You know that no other grocery store can compare to Publix.     * Every other house in your neighborhood had blue roofs in 2004-2005. * You know that anything under a Category 3 just isn't worth waking up for. * You dread love bug season. (which is actually TWICE a year!)   * You are on a first name basis with the Hurricane list. They aren't Hurricane Charley or Hurricane Frances.

Alison... * You know what a snowbird is and when they'll leave.  * You think a six-foot alligator is actually pretty average.      * 'Down South' means Key West. * Flip-flops are everyday wear.
