Parking...

You know you're a prairie girl in a mountain region when you park on a slight incline and realize you have no idea how to keep your car from rolling down-hill.  After you remember the parking brake, you pray that it still works because the only use for a parking brake in the prairies is for playing in gravel parking lots. 

And then, every once in a while, you check to make sure your car is still where you left it.

Cripes.
