The only acceptable "North" states are Maine, North Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Yoopers, and Alaska. Every other state is southern or "The South."

I have heard a Yooper say pretty much the same thing, completely free of sarcasm. I asked why they thought that, but in the U.P, they don't explain things.

I knew someone who thought all rivers ran towards the equator. When told a river was flowing north, she couldn't believe it, because that way was 'up'.

That seems to be some common old-timey myth. I remember being taught in elementary school that the Nile was special because it was the only river in the world that flows south to north.

When noted asperger's victim (and slave rapist) Thomas Jefferson ordered Lewis & Clark & co. to search for the NW passage he knew drat well there was no way to get a canoe over the Rockies. That is not how continents work Jeffy.

In which a cell phone game whale is very mad that spending all the in game currency he buys is basically a full time job:

https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/2596/galaxy-events-no-longer-sustainable

By my quick mental math this guy is dropping like $500+ bucks per in game event in currency and then is upset that feeding his addiction has become his job.

They never taught us that. Of course, one of Florida's major rivers flows south to north, so maybe the myth never caught hold here.

I play a game like that. You can play for free and just not always have the best of everything. The discord and facebook pages are just non stop whinefests of whales.

Also be aware: "All season" tires sold in the southern US are often different than the types sold in the north, and are likely not made for driving through snow. Don't assume that you're safe because you got all season tires before a rare snowfall in Texas.
