You know you are from San Diego when :
By Christine Bilange
1. There are four distinct seasons: Summer, Not Quite Summer, Almost Summer, and oh, Hey look its summer again.
2. Your high school had a surf team.
3. Every street name is either in Spanish or Spanish related, and you're surprised when other areas don't have this.
4. You see weather forecasts for four different climate zones in the same county, and aren't remotely surprised.
5. You know that "charge!" doesn't refer to a credit card.
6. You understand what May-gray and June-gloom means.
7. A famous skateboarder/surfer lives in your town.
8. You've stayed home from school or work, because "It's Raining!"
9. You've gone to sea world on a warm day and sat in the first few rows at the Shamu show to get cooled off.
10. No matter what the weather is, there is always someone walking around in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops.
11. You've been to the desert, the mountains, and the beach all in one day.
12. You've gone to the Zoo just to hang out.
13. You know someone who doesn't own pants.
14. You know what the 'Santa Anas' are, and that they have nothing to do with the city of Santa Ana.
15. You know what 'real Mexican food' tastes like.
