I've been through Minnesota in the past, but not for very long-- just until we could get to Ohio and back (long story short-- the airlines were being screwy in Minneapolis/St. Paul so we rented a car and drove to Ohio), so my Minnesota exposure has been limited. When did Bloo get Frankie kicked out of the mall? (Seems like something he'd do...)
Hmm... Thanks for the ideas, pitbulllady! i appreciate them
immensely.

Ah yes, good ol' Minnesota- the state of my birth. Besides the Mall of America, what comes to my mind is the many lakes they have there. And on those lakes many snow geese and loons. Loons are fascinating birds, and their calls are among the most haunting and beautiful bird calls if you ask me.  They aren't as plentiful anywhere else I've lived, I kind of miss them. Also what comes to mind are obnoxious mosquitoes, biting gnats and horse flies. But that's just me... Once you've lived there a while, you'd understand.  |
If you've ever been on the grounds of a military academy, you know there's little goofing off. When I got the picture of the academy gorunds in snow, I thought that a picture from ALC would look good, and the one of Mac instanly clicked.
I tend to think of lakes when I think of Minnesota, too. The Minnesota tourism site has a LOT of stuff devoted to lakes on it. And I do understand the mosquitoes, et. al.-- mosquitoes can be quite plentiful in Alaska. People frequently joke that they are the state bird!
Oh, and here are the next two:
Massachusetts
Michigan
Enjoy!
