You know you are from San diego when- I LOVE this!!! so funny and so true :o)
and something I've been taught in Oregon-
Why do you say THE 5, not just 5 or THE 217, not just 217-
That is so funny. People get on me all the time for saying "the" in front of my highways too. I think we had only been here about 2 weeks and someone called me on it. She knew I was from CA based on how I use freeway names.
