    Love Lake George, clear clean water, great fishing and boating. It really was the neighbors that made it not so fun. Pretty bad when the people who ***** about stereotyping end up being the ones who stereotype just bc you're from Oklahoma. They think you're automatically a racist, inbred or at the very least some kinda cousin humper.

    Called a horseshoe. Ususlly it's toast with hamburgers on top covered in fries and melted cheese. Also saw ham or buffalo chicken strips instead of hamburger. It's pretty good and apparently a central IL thing. Most restaurants or bars that serve food make them.

    This is actually starting to worry me a bit... -70’s ??? May be the coldest weather I’ve ever experienced.

    We are house sitting for someone... they have a few farm animals (donkey, goat, sheep, and chickens). Is there anything I should do except put some extra hay down in the barn for them? Have a unit to keep the water from freezing already in place. No blankets for them.

    Neg 70 sounds painful. I wouldn't step foot outside.

    I can tell you in the 13 years I've lived here; I've never seen one north of I-80 in any bar/restaurant.. And I've been in more than a few.

    what's most scary is that those tiny blue areas almost rule the red.
    That red accounts from 84% of all the land in the US.

    It originated in Springfield years ago. A lot of places both north and south have them or will make them upon request but not have them on the menu. It's more predominant I-74 to I-70. The cheese sauce it what makes it or breaks it.

    We also have a breakfast shoe. 2 slices of toast topped with your choice of breakfast meat, hashbrowns or american fries, 2 eggs cooked to your liking and then a sausage gravy, cheese sauce or a half and half drizzled over top.

    Only White Separatist encampment I've ever seen was in upstate New York. I'm not kidding. Big walled compound with Rebel flags flying and Sovereign Citizen/white power-type crap spray painted on the panels. The walled compound probably had a 5 acre footprint.

    That i do not doubt....NY has it all (not bragging). I swear when my kids go to college the only thing that would keep me here is if they both move back and im secretly imposing the thoughts of Iowa in their heads

    The blue are mainly cities/large metro centers that tend to be more Democrat. With big employers paying good $, but also all the problems that go with cities.

    Can you get them in the barn or shelter? Plenty of feed too.

    If it's any consolation insurance is higher for boys. We have one of our sons left on our policy.
