You might also be in Iowa if you visit the World's Largest Truck Stop (totes amazing, btw) and have the opportunity to stroll through a fun Trucking Museum.

You might be in Iowa when you can claim you live in MIMAL's nostril.
You might be in Iowa when your friends can actually live north of the Mississippi River - that doesn't happen very often.
You might be in Iowa if your new friend laughs when you tell him swamp coolers actually work in Utah...and your friend's wife has no idea what a swamp cooler is. (Let me iterate how excited we are to experience 100% humidity in the summer time.)
You might be in Iowa if it can get so cold outside, it can freeze your laundry soap by leaving it in the car.

You might be in Iowa when there are a few occasions you can turn your brights on while driving on the Interstate at night.
You might be in Iowa when billboards don't line the Interstate, but grow in the middle of fields - far away from the roadside (Marketing: It's become a driving hazard).
You might be in Iowa where the population of squirrels is...pervasive.
You might be in Iowa if you've officially had some REALLY delicious Mexican food.
You might be in Iowa if your Girl Scout Cookies look different and are named more generically than they were in Utah. But it all depends upon where you live!

You might be in Iowa if the nearest zoo worth going to is 4 or 5 hours away and in completely different states. Sad times...
You might be in Iowa if you run around outside and these little burrs get stuck to your socks (one of the girls in my church class calls them "butt ticks" - I don't know that I would disagree):

You might be in Iowa if you meet some of the nicest people on the planet. :)

Might you be in Iowa if your license plate is the same as Hawkeye colors? I was behind someone at the stoplight yesterday and they had an Iowa plate. Can they all be that ugly??? Sorry Iowa, didn't mean to be disrespectful, but really?
Love the post, by the way:)
Oh yes! Personalized Gold and Black Hawkeye plates are a HUGE DEAL in town. They're a rabid fan base. ;) But most everyone else has blue and white plates around here.
