How to Tell if You're in Oroville, CA


I recently had a chance to visit my hometown of Oroville, CA. Some of you will know exactly what I'm talking about, and some of you will find out some interesting tidbits of information.
You might be in Oroville, CA if:

* You wake up early and find coyotes outside your house (and no, it was not just my dog )
* You find many people are wearing underwear as tops
* You don't feel bad at all going around town with no makeup on at all.
* You look out to the horizon and all you see is yellow grass with brown spots (kind of like dalmation foothills)
* You feel embarrassed to ask at the store if there is any Oroville memorabilia for sale.
* You get to practice "Dodge the Cow-patty" on the family ranch road.
* You have oodles and oodles of time (and I mean oodles)


Any Orovillians out there are welcome to add their own in the comments section.

I love Oroville, even though I make fun of it a bit. It will always be home to me.
