Just like Iowa. I laughed at the yellow light, because it's so true here.

~prowlercat
OP
I guess Im from here so I dont even think about the yellow light thing. I think for the most part people here are better drivers than a lot of places. especially that shit hole directly to my east known as Minnesota! i cant stand the fucking citiots that come around here.

I guess I didn't realize Minnesotans were bad drivers D: What have I grown up with? D:

ok maybe bad was a bit too harsh since your a friend. they are just very inconsiderate and rude. they never move over for you when trying to merge onto the highways, and they cut you off even when they dont even have to be in that lane, and if you let them in they never even give the "thank you wave"

I spent a few winter months in Maine, on board a small vessel, and it was so cold that there was ice on the walls in my cabin and I was sleeping or trying to sleep in long underwear, in a sleeping bag, under 3 blankets and I was still cold.
Prowlercat
~prowlercat
OP
well when there is ice on the walls that sounds cold. I keep my apartment at about 55F during the winter. but I deal with the cold better than most people around here even. but when its -30 outside 55 feels just right to me :) my friends complain when they come over and can see their breath in my house though :/

HEH, I wont be visiting in the winter. SC is very nice in the winter with temps around the 60's/70's during the day.

~pawpal

haha nice i like all of those mainly the tractor one and the combine one
Prowlercat
~prowlercat
OP
yea the tractor wasnt bolded only because in town its not as many tractors. although I guess when im on campus there is probably an even number of tractors to cars driving around :/
sperklespice
~sperklespice

OP
Big Iron was just here like 2 weeks ago and there are STILL semis coming everyday to pick up tractors and headers and combines that people bought in the auction
