And God created the Midwest

On the sixth day, God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said,"Today I am going to create an area of land called The Midwest. It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty. It shall have tall hills and rolling plains full of game and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and streams full of trout, forests full of deer and turkeys, valleys with fertile soil with an abundance nutrients to grow things, and rivers teeming with fish."

God continued, "I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Midwesterners, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth."

"But Lord," asked Gabriel, "don't you think you are being too generous to these Midwesterners?"

"Not really," replied God. "Just wait and see the winters I am going to give them!"

True. That is what we get if we like summer and say so. But, last summer was a bitch. Hotter than Hell, and as dry as a piece of toast that has laid out on the kitchen table for a week.

So, that explains it! :)

Such beauty, though...even in the midst of the hot summers and the cold winters. Beautiful!
