  1. I've never been to Minnesota, but LA I've been to. I would say this is pretty accurate!

  2. It's true the coverups reach the ground, but it's so hot women are wearing swim suits in Target! I saw a thong under a muslin dress! The mercury in Minnesota hits a hundred and ladies lose their minds, which might be okay except most of us haven't lost our winter fat.

  3. This is soooooooo true! I am from LA originally, so I can say that. Loved the part you wrote about the restaurant reservation. ha!

    When I was a flight attendant for United, I LOVED doing the flights to anywhere in the midwest because people were so POLITE! To a fault! Everything was please and thank you and hope it is no trouble for you, etc. Oh, we fought for those coveted flights because the passengers were a dream. Now, the NY- Florida flights, a whole different breed............

    best,
