Ja, snow and cold keeps the riff raff out, eh? Do they consider Mississippi trolls and flatlanders up there, or is that reserved for us? :)
Not a yooper, but from North Michigan before 'temporarily' moving to outside the People's Republic of Ann Arbor.
Originally from Wisconsin - so I am a crossover. trolls are beneath the Bridge (mackinac bridge). Still it is God’s Country.
Riff raff is basically gone as the prisons are mainly shuttered up here in the UP.
a couple of us conservatives up here in the UP strive to acquire license plates from Europe so we can be prepared for when we officially become part of Canada or the 51st State - Superiorland. have a great time when going into the Detroit metro area with Buck Ofama Sticker on the back of the truck. The Union Guys get really pissed at the sticker and more pissed at the European Plate. Lots of Road Rage! pisses them even more often with ‘2D Come and Take Them” sticker in the back.
I still have to get used to the Finlanders - remove their bathtubs and showers turn them into saunas and utilize an outhouse. Honest to goodness the Finlanders are an odd sort up.
