That's easily over come though. Just get the Free Press and then hide the sports section from your local paper in the middle. No one will notice.

You know you're from California if you've worn shorts in the rain and been to the beach and the snow in one day.
You might be from California if you speak of the distance between two places using units of time.

You might be a San Franciscan if your 5-year-old grandson wants calamari and pad thai for dinner. Your father-in-law refers to you as the "white sheep of the family." you have to wear a coat to the beach in July, the rent on your storage unit costs more than a penthouse in Las Vegas, you think traffic lights are only for people in cars, unless you are in a car then you can ignore them too. The streetcar you rode to work is more than 50-years-old. You have ever had to put a brick in your toilet because of water rationing. Your whole house could fit inside of the average suburban garage. You can hear your neighbors arguing next door but you can't get any gossip because they are speaking French. You are offended if someone honks at you.
Your neighborhood looks like a session at the United Nations. You have climbed up the inside of the Statue of Liberty but have never been to Alcatraz. You walk to the grocery store.

You might be a Californian if you've known many people over the years who've moved to your state and swear it absolutely sucks in comparison to their home state.
you've used the word "hella" in a non-ironic fashion.
you always look like you're ready to go hiking.

You might be a Californian if when contemplating a move to another state your only viable options are Washington or Colorado.

Flip-flops are considered business casual at your corporate hq.
You have your good and your 'older' crappy flip-flops.
You have 1/20th of an acre and its considered spacious.
Long pants are a complete bummer and nuisance.
You can walk to 10 non chain restaurants and you live in the burbs.
You expect a $74,000 commission check that is $29,000 after taxes!

You pay an additional property tax to pay for garbage inspectors to verify if you are putting the proper items in the proper units.
"hella wicked" = Bi Coastal
His name is Harry Perry (possible relation to Eric?). I had one of his CDs pinned up on the wall at my previous residence.

You might be a Californian if...
A) You think Mexican Food is one of the 5 food groups
B) You own more pairs of boardshorts than pants

I was working with musicians and bands on the marketing side about 14 years ago...I was required to take a class at the local Learning Tree about music business. The guy who taught the class, claimed that he tried to sign him to a record contract (he already had notoriety) for 25K, and he declined it. He told him that he made more money at the beach. AFAIK, he is a multi millionaire and owns 2 houses in the Santa Monica/Venice area.
Wait, we're the only ones that do that!?
I usually say "X amount on foot X amount on bike X amount by car".
I think it's more that on Thursday at 3am, 20 miles will take 20 minutes but during rush hour, that same 20 miles will take an hour.
