We have the skeeters down here in FL also. Some friends and I thought we were going to go hiking in Collier State Park near Naples. Wrong. Soon as we got under the trees in the shade, they came off the roost like a bunch of birds! We literally ran back to the car and spent 10 minutes killing the ones that dot in with us!
North Dakota is the only place I've ever been offered beer...
...at a bank!
Almost half the bars in North Dakota have blackjack tables!
I once drove 77 miles across a Sioux Revervation in North Dakota and did not even see a fence.
I went to a Boat shop once and rounded the back of the yard for a part.. they had dead foxes stacked up like cord wood.
I once caught a paddle fish and a sturgeon on the same day in North Dakota.
I saw the same dead dog lay on a highway corner from September until it was rotted away the following July.
Everyone in North Dakota loved Virgil Hill and Lawrence Welk.
The people of North Dakota, with their puffy pink hands, sandbagged the Red River two years ago. They held that mean SOB back with nothing but manpower.
Now that's something to be proud of.
Edit to add; If North Dakota was a nation, it would be a leading nuclear superpower, with well over 500 big warheads.
With the discovery of the Bakken oil field we also have more oil than Saudi Arabia. It is a little hard to get at and we don't have much refining capacity in North Dakota but it is there.
