The second to last one sounds like Houston. We spend a lot of time talking about the heat and humidity. Except for when we talk about the rain and flooding.
I got a French Canadian to teach me about hockey when I lived in MI. Apparently, it is illegal to live in a state bordering Canada and not rabidly follow hockey. Who knew?
it's snowing here in seattle too. St. Paul isn't that bad. Go buy some fish at Coastal Seafood and be happy you're not stuck on I5 right now.
