Lessee... as I sit in my living room watching the 6 ft alligator cruise up
the canal behind the house, I can't help but wonder when the last gator and
rattler left Norway?
I know all the Scandehoovians (including most of my ancestors) moved to
Minnesota so they'd be in conditions just like they left behind, but I've
always wondered whether the mosquitos (Minnesota state bird) are as bad in
the old country? Forget the gators and snakes, mosquitos are why they
invented Holiday Inns.
