    If you consider it a sport to sit in a ice hut all day long with a rod and reel just to put perch in your freezer..
    you might live in Buffalo ..

    If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Lewiston
    is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Buffalo ..

    If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Buffalo .

    If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Buffalo.

    If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Buffalo;
    because you're all so damn friendly.

    If you have ever worn shorts, sunglasses and a parka at the same time, you might live in Buffalo .

    If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, or if you are in church and your priest or minister asks you to pray for
    the Bills, and wants to get you all home for 1 p.m. kickoff you might live in Buffalo

    If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Buffalo ...

    YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Buffalonian when:

    1. 'Vacation' means going over to your cottage in Canada for the weekend.

    2. You measure distance in hours.

    3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.

    4. You often switch from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again.

    5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.

    6. You carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them.

    7. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

    8. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

    9. You know all 4 seasons: almost fall, winter, still winter and road construction.

    10. Down South to you means ERIE , PA.

    11. You find '0' degrees 'a little chilly.'

    12. You go out to fish fry every Friday, Prime Rib on Saturday and bingo every Wednesday.

    13. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.

    14. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

    'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

    You say you will never forget where you were when
    you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
    Neither will I.

    I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
    with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I
    held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
    peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it
    is OK..I am ready to go.'

    I was with his wife when he called as she fed
    breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
    tried to understand his words and as she realized
    he wasn't coming home that night.

    I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
    woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been
    knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
    'Of course I will show you the way home - only
    believe in Me now.'

    I was at the base of the building with the Priest
    ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
    I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
    heard my voice and answered.

    I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
    with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
    were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
    believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
    faith has saved them.

    I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan .
    I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
    Did you sense Me?

    I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
    every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me
    for the first time on the 86th floor.

    Some sought Me with their last breath.
    Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
    smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take
    my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
    But, I was there.

    I did not place you in the Tower that day. You
    may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
    there in that explosive moment in time, would you have
    reached for Me?

    Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey
    for you. But someday your journey will end. And I
    will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
    be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
    'ready to go.'

    I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

    God
    During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
    doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it
    is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the
    following:

    Stop and think and appreciate God's power
    in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to
    Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the
    instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be
    ashamed of you before My Father'

    If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only
    if you believe 'Yes, I love my God. He is my
    fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and
    night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do
    everything. Christ is my strength.'
