Northwoods Humor
During the past few days we inadvertently collected a few photos that provide a little glimpse into life here in the North Country. I may be the only one that finds humor in these, but I thought I'd share them with you anyway.
Now do you think that maybe this guy has a destiny? I mean, who else would you vote for but a guy named Scherf for sheriff.
There's not much science that goes into advertising up here. No sir, it's really basic. You gotta read this one out loud a few times, fast, to understand what it's advertising.
Rules are pretty basic up here too. Launching a boat at our campground isn't too difficult for most people. Only three simple rules.
Interestingly when we loaded Jim and Sue's boat the other day, I forgot rule number 3.
And business establishments in the North get creative with their names and advertising tag lines. Who can resist "The Home of the Big WinnieBurger and the Gosh Dam Breakfast"?? And who could drive past the Bigwinnie Bar and Cafe?
Finally, it appears word has gotten around in the Canada Goose community that I'm a trouble-maker. Yowwee, they're sending the big ones after me now.

Gotta love those signs of the north. There's a sign on a barbeque place in our town in Maryland that says you can "Pig In or Pig Out."
Re. the Lost Forty in your previous post, have you been up to Minnesota's Northwest Angle? A little geographical oddity that seems to have been a mistake in surveying somewhere along the line.

Joe, no, we haven't been to the Northwest Angle yet. I read a little about how it came to be... definitions based on poor maps and understanding of where the Mississippi River was. It certainly is an oddity. Visitors must talk to Customs -- U.S. when entering... Canadian when leaving -- via videophone in a little shack at the border.
