A former surgeon general WOULD think that.

Skyline chili is good, as long as you dont try to conceptualize it as chili. As "spaghetti, as cooked by aliens who only ever saw a picture of it and whose only experience with human food comes from the car they abducted outside the taco bell drive through" its pretty tasty.

I know this is from a few pages back, but I can answer this one as a high school teacher in central Indiana. It goes along with their lifted diesel trucks, wearing cammo every day, Grizzly chew, country music, and shooting animals.

The best part is going thru a suburb and seeing a driveway with dad's Lexus, mom's Infiniti and juniors F350 with smoke stack and rebel flag flying in the bed.

Prescribed burns own, I used to take part in them when I worked for a conservation agency.

This weekend in the town I went to high school in is their annual Pumpkin festival. Children of all ages (with massive amounts of help from their parents') decorate pumpkins, which are then displayed on the courthouse lawn. The parade is the next morning, featuring high school bands and the Jesse White tumblers (only bleks there lol). No alcohol is sold, no pumpkin is eaten (harvest festival?), although it acts as an annoying all classes high school reunion. gently caress the Midwest.

People also lump places like Michigan in with Missouri, which is dumb. Missouri has more in common with the South and the Great Lakes states are very similar to New York and Pennsylvania.

PS Midwestern girls are the hottest. Here's a girl from DeKalb, IL. I think she's very pretty

On my first visit to Boston about a decade ago I was sitting at a red light when a pick-up truck with two confederate flags trailing from the truck bed went past.

There is no escape from these people.

The nice thing about growing up in the North is that there is no doubt the confederate flag stands solely for white supremacy, given the inherent hilarity of claiming it represents heritage when your entire family fought for The America Side in the war.

Good call on the Henry Ford. I guess you're going to metro Detroit?

There lots of scenery outdoors and nature. Great Lakes. Little lakes. Forests. Dunes. Rivers. Lighthouses. There are places you can walk around and pick up fossils. A lot of the nature is up north, though, and you probably don't want to go there this time of year. But if you want to go swimming in a lake, try Van Buren State Park, the nuclear plant will heat up the water for you.

Fewer crazy people than the South, but I'm probably biased.
