Yes, that is a large picture of a peacock. If I had any skills in understanding measurement I probably would have realized it was going to be the size of our deck.

// Garage saling is still a thing.

// Beer thirty is also a thing…and used quite frequently.

// Ugg boots are a winter staple…the off brand works too. If you don't have ugg boots you will probably be laughed at by thousands of girls who wear ugg boots. 

// Summer is for golf, fishing, and camping. And beer thirty. 

// The coolest mall is Mall of America.  

// Everyone is a good driver. Especially in the winter months ;)

// We are also pros at driving on gravel roads. 

// Country concerts are the hottest thing. There is even a festival that celebrates them, WE Fest. 

// Trips are measured by the number of hours, not miles, and we will find the shortest possible route on that trip.

// Target, Walmart, and Shopko are like heaven to most women. 

// Motorcycles are common. Most people don't even wear helmets, and some even wear flip-flops because they are so accustomed to it. 

// Every family will have a staple outdoor game. Ladder ball and the beanbag game are most popular, and almost everyone made them at home. My dad and I made a game where we each stood in front of gallon buckets filled with water and threw a tennis ball in them, it kept us cool and was fun all at the same time.

// Ranch is and will be one of the only condiments you will ever use.

// 90% of the population has probably worked on a farm, grew up on a farm, or still lives on a farm.

// In the midwest we know the difference between a chicken and a hen.

// Sundays are still days of rest. There might not be much resting, but family time is a must.

// Most schools are still small; there are graduating classes of 12 people or so…it is a real thing. 

// There are also schools that are in the middle of a cornfield. These schools are generally called Cow Pie High. (There are lots of cows surrounding these schools as well).

// Campfires, bonfires, and fires are the best thing in the world. 99% of the population probably has a fire pit for this reason…and yes we still make s'mores.

// And you are probably from the midwest if you like reading things about people from the midwest, even though we already know these things, we like to be reminded.
