You Know You Live in the Middle of Nowhere When...

You know you live in the middle of nowhere when...

You have to go to your Mom's house to get trick-or-treaters

Forgetting something at the grocery store is a huge inconvenience and not worth the trip back out to go get the forgotten item. 

Pizza is not delivered to your house because it is too far

You have to take your trash to the dump because they don't pick up at your house

The tractor pulls at the farm fair are the highlight of the summer

Road Signs like this are not uncommon, and you know you can actually go 20 on the turn

The dogs are dogs.  They stay outside, they swim in the pond, if they get out of the fence, they find their way back, they kill any wild thing that comes into the yard and they are well behaved, but don't try to come into the yard if they don't know you.

All of these things are in one old building

Your next door neighbor is a farmer, and on the other side is more of his farm and his farm stand

You can play your extremely loud stereo system as loud as you want for as late as you want and no one hears it

You know that single stoplight towns are real

This is what your drive to pretty much everything looks like ... and you can stop in the road to take pics without worrying about someone behind you

This is considered a main road

and last when you have to get out of your car open the gate, drive through, then close it, to get out of your driveway.  (and so the dogs don't get out)
