The people in the north are just as friendly as here. Yes, I was shocked. It appears all the hateful MFers are in the big metropolitan areas. Very happy people in the balance. 47 years old and I always thought otherwise. I can’t stress this enough, happy, inviting, people.

First Amish experience, they cool. Saw many but two guys with crosscut saws, draft horse, and wagon, was surreal. They weren’t posing, they needed wood.

Iowa and Wisconsin take better care of their roads than Minnesota. Probably why they’re angry.

Just because it’s it’s snowing doesn’t mean it’s snowing. The local and the NWS said it wasn’t snowing when it was coming down in my opinion. They said, “it’s gonna snow tomorrow”. Which in fact they got 6-8” today.

The corn belt does not have to use that [censored], 2 of 3 gas pumps up there are ethanol free. They ship it to us.

91 octane is as high as you can get north of Oklahoma. The Ecobeast does not like that with its current tune and the stock tune will not run with all the upgrades.

I saw the headwaters of the Mississippi.

Outback steak house up there is “just kidding”. They don’t know [censored] about steaks.

Did I mention Minnesota sucks at road maintenance.

I walked on a lake yesterday that was froze over and they were prepping part of it for a ice race today with “motorbikes”, not motorcycles.

“Breakfast Meat” is a generic term for bacon, sausage, ham, etc. AKA pork is breakfast meat.

People actually live there on purpose.

Mexican food is as good as their steaks.

I had no idea cranberries were grown in the north.

When they say there’s a bar (pub) on every corner they mean it.

Iowa sells liquor 24/7/365 and the bars close at 3am. I can’t make them understand “blue laws”.


Doin 95 in a 65 is not an issue in Missouri.

Walmart is Walmart.

Where are these people working? There’s no actual industry. Cost of living is higher as expected but so is the pay scale. Walmart stockers there make more than the Queen here and that pisses her off.

5 and no wind is cold, 35 and wind is miserable.

Life there is much simpler and apparently lends to happiness, and a higher suicide rate. Go figure.


There is a thing called “winter sport” and they have parks dedicated to it.

If I was there I would be an ice fisherman, happy, red faced, you figure it out.

Thanks for the synopsis.

Bar on every corner is spot on. They know how to drink.

If their steaks suck and their Mexican foods sucks, make you wonder what they got that’s good

Lutefisk!

My father in law who was an avid bass fisherman used to go to Wisconsin once every two or three years to fish for Northern Pike with a friend who lived there. He had nothing but good things to say about Wisconsin.

Come back home to Texas.

Outback doesn’t know steaks, anywhere.

Bill, my arse is home, John, I actually liked Wisconsin, and am willing to teach the how to cook.

Living 10 years there, it will do you, backwards

Be careful. This is one-upper to some.

Wisconsin is home to https://www.sprecherbrewery.com/. Fantastic root beer.

You forgot to mention that Wisconsin is also cannabis friendly..

Didn’t know that, it is great root beer

Guess I didn’t forget. Guess I didn’t give a funk

Bar on every corner and a high suicide rate. Fits pretty much what I saw back in Wisconsin back in '69.

I grew up there. You go there for cheese, beer and sausage...not steak and tacos. By the way, if it has a soft tortilla it is a burrito, tacos have hard shells.

Did you feel dirty driving thru Oklahoma like I do

It was so bad Oklahoma felt like home.

I've spent time in both Wisconsin and Minnesota and yep, the people are nice. I like the summers up there but the winters are brutal.

Every outdoorsman needs to spend a few weeks up north to experience hunting in a few feet of snow and ice fishing where the ice is thick enough to support a pickup truck. It is an experience I wouldn't trade for anything.

Sounds like a whiskey post.

Made a trip to Wisconsin last Winter. Very cold and the people were very friendly. First time I ever had squeaky cheese, very strange...

Been to them. Nice folks are most everywhere. I have no reason to go back...

Have lived in both Minnesota & over 30yrs each.
