So I got this as a forward…and is in honor to all Minnesota people!
You might live in Minnesota…
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through l8 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by.
If you’re proud that your state makes the national news 96 nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation.
If you have ever refused to buy something because it’s “too spendy.”
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March.
If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don’t work there.
If your dad’s suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead.
If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches.
If you know how to say Wayzata, Mahtomedi, Edina and Shakopee.
If you think that ketchup is a little too spicy.
If vacation means going up north past Brainerd for the weekend.
If you measure distance in hours.
If you know several people who have hit deer more than once.
If you often switch from “heat” to “A/C” in the same day and back again.
If you can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
If you see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
If you install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
If you think of the major food groups as beer, fish, and venison.
If you carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.
If there are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at Mill’s Fleet Farm at any given time.
If you design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
If you think driving is better in the winter because all the potholes are filled with snow.
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
If you can identify a southern or eastern accent.
If you consider Minneapolis exotic.
If your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.
If Down South to you means Iowa.
If a brat is something you eat.
If you go out to fish fry every Friday.
If you’ve eaten every kind of hotdish and know what’s in it.
If you find 0 degrees “a little chilly.”
I know it’s kinda stupid, but i certainly appreciated it.
