Oh god the heat today is killing me. A storm went through our town but didn't come near my house at all. Time to pray to the rain god.
It's storming outside, it's really hot out, was 90 earlier it's about 75 now

So I guess farming, forestry,
retail is very popular down in the cities, iirc best buy and target have their headquarters there even
i believe there's mining up north, fish is pretty popular also

Minnesota is renown for its coffee and cotton industry, but also thrive on ivory hunting.
another hot day. Only not sunny

Yep, its hotter in Minnesota than it is in Florida right now. Funny how that works.
It's only 60F here in ottertail county, though?
It's a whooping 50F over here in Reistad county.

Weather in Minnesota can get pretty weird. Up noth it could be 50 while in the cities it can be in the 80's-90's. And vice versa.

In Rochester we have the Mayo Clinic, which receives patients from around the world for tertiary care. It also does a bunch of research stuff, and has pretty good rankings. We also have an IBM campus, which is one of the more important manufacturing centers.
Just a quick question for you Minnesotans, is it Uff Da or Uffta?
The former.

High Tech Manufacturing.
There doesn't seem to be a single warehouse in my town that doesn't manufacture space lasers and brain implants to make the blind see.

Damn cottonwood trees.
It's impossible to bike anywhere nearby without getting a ton of floating fuzz in your eye and in your mouth.
Every roadside looks like this:

I say that enough that I've gotten people I work with from Kentucky, Arizona, California, etc. To say it
Hi I'm actually from Wisconsin but I got to Winona State University and I live right on the border to Minnesota so close enough I guess.
I gotta say, I like you guys. I like Minnesota. You're good people and you have cool stuff. You've got a lot going for yah. You've got a giant spoon and I can respect that. But you're not the best drivers.

Damn you living in the booming part of the state. :argh:
I have to constantly check Plymouths website to see when they're going to tear this dinky abandoned 1950s strip mall across the highway from me. All so they can build a McDonalds and an apartment for old people.
