I was thinking Iowa myself, except in January it is below 0F and that is all there is to it.

I'm originally from Indianapolis, not a small town by any means but some of those things still ring true. Although I still don't know what corning is. Just before I started high school we moved to a tiny little town in Missouri, and pretty much everything on that list matches that little farm town. Especially the opening day of deer season thing. It was completely normal for half of the high school kids to be absent that day because they were deer hunting. And yes I was among the absent a time or two. We didn't even get into any kind of trouble over it either.

In my few months here in Indiana, I would like to add one to your Driving Habits category that I've observed.

11...You believe it is your birthright to turn out in front of oncoming traffic, regardless of the speed they are traveling at, and fully expect that they will prefer to slow down rather than hit your vehicle. As an addendum to this, you can also demonstrate extreme rage at others for doing this to you, even immediately after you perform the maneuver yourself.

I've never had so many close calls in a car in all my life, as I have had since moving here.

For some reason 90% of the driving population of Indiana does this.

"Knee high by the 4rth of July"
I first heard this in Kansas many years ago. (Cattle corn) If the crop wasn't knee high by then, you may not have a good year.
RE: Driving habits, tailgating is becoming an Olympic sport in Ontario.
Rules of the game.. make sure you have those irritating high intencity blue coloured headlights.. You must swing over the centerline every 7 seconds and peer around your victims vehicle, or be disqualified.. Hand signals will get you points, use them whenever you can set your cellphone down.. and finally, to win, you must pass in a no passing zone and then nail the brakes to turn into the video rental store.
