Exterminate all homosexuals and fascism will vanish.

I moved to the UP a year ago

From Indiana. Unless you have lived outside the UP, you can’t fully understand just how terrible life outside the UP can be. Recently had to return to Indiana temporarily, and the difference is night and day. There is more lawn space and endless fields of pesticide ridden corn and soy here in IN than forest space, I long to be surrounded by trees again. The rivers and reservoirs are contaminated and foul-smelling, I miss the fresh air and beauty of the pure lakes. It jumped from 80 degrees less than a week ago to 35 again, and it’s giving me whiplash. I miss the steady cold of the UP. It takes 20 minutes and countless turns and trafffic lights to go 8 miles away, compare that to the ease of driving on 41. I cant see most of the constellations because of light pollution, and the noise never ends. Being back here literally fills me with dread.

I may technically never be a yooper, but I hope I can submit this UP appreciation post. It’s truly one of the best places in the USA to live.
