1. Losing sight of the horizon, for even a few seconds, leaves you with an 'icky' feeling of disorientation for the rest of the day.
2. You're confused when cars come equipped with options that would never be needed, such as curb feelers and turn signals and yet, obvious options like trailer hitches and air conditioning, are extras.
3. You actually understand, and perhaps can describe in detail, the necessity for geographical correction lines.
4. You can't understand why those American television networks never settle on a schedule, instead of shifting all their programs back and forth an hour every spring and fall.
5. You always know Christmas is near because stores stay open late TWO nights a week rather than one.
6. You rent off-season storage space for your snowmobile on a week-by-week basis.
7. You understand, and become quite emotional, when some outsider doesn't know the difference between a farmer and a rancher.
8. You overhear someone explain how he installed a counter binder on his combine's pulley-driven wheat flattener with a square head hydrostatic coupler, using a universal bushing degreaser, and you can't believe he left only 5 inches of clearance between the kernel rotor and the straw-feed regulator - the idiot!
9. Your pronunciation of "Saskatchewan" is down to 1 syllable: "Skatchw'n."
10. Once every 23 years you perform strange ritualistic dances in public places (Riders win Grey Cup).
