Oh, how interesting, @AuntG .   Makes sense, since the U.P. is somewhat removed from other areas, due to geography.  It would be fascinating if someone did a study on that...

Edited to add:   Have been fascinated by Upper Michigan, esp. after reading Robert Traver's a thriller, "Anatomy of a Murder".

The haunting, wild beauty of Upper Michigan--

A man and his dog were rescued after their vehicle plunged into an icy lake in Okoboji, Iowa, on Feb. 4. They were pulled out of the water by a group of Good Samaritans.

And that's how I like to think of the Great American Midwest.

Oh, me too, @just bee ,  thanks for posting that!   Very cool group of heartland heroes, undaunted by ice, danger, long odds, hardship.

I'm from Seattle and have lived all my life in port cities--Los Angeles, New York, San Diego. I visited Missouri (St. Louis) several years ago and just loved it! The people were all so nice and kind and friendly...what a contrast to the Seattle Freeze.

I'd love to live in Missouri except for the high hunidity summers; that's the one reasons I couldn't live there. But the people sure are nice.
