Flag

I got a free magazine downtown the other day about "Mountain Living" or something. In the very back, where the editors of most magazines throw the crappiest, "lighter-side" articles was a page on what it means to be a "true-blue" resident of Flagstaff. Let me spell it out.

To be a true-blue Flagstaffian, be sure you have the following:

1. A midsized SUV, Subaru wagon or hybrid vehicle (with a bike rack, even if you don't own a bike)

2. At least one dog named after a prominent feature or trail (the dog should have a tag that reads Weatherford or Fremont)

3. Involvement in at least two, if not three outdoor recreational activities, with one that is of the winter variety.

4. A winter jacket of artic explorer caliber.

5. The best hiking boots money can buy.

6. A sturdy plastic water bottle with you most of the time (a bonus if it's plastered with outdoor company stickers)

This led me to some startling conclusions. According to numbers 1, 4, and 5 people from Flagstaff are morons. I am not qualified to fit in ANY of these categories. I'm not upset, and I'm not going to change that.

Other than that, I had an interesting dream where all of Flagstaff flooded. It was the biggest flood in the world and everyone lost their house, I didn't tho.

I woke up with a bloody nose again.
