The Midwest is a beautiful place this time of year. The summer heat has calmed down just a tad, but we're still firing up the grill to cook some brats, and we're still playing our bags tournaments. The kids are slowly going back to school, and the college towns are filling up with college students. We're spending a lot of time outside just enjoying the weather, that is, when it's not pouring down rain or threatening to cough up a tornado. 

Then we're inside playing euchre and sipping on an Old Style. It's just the way we are. It's a simple life over here, if you let it be. Sure, we have cities full of culture and excitement, but we have vast swaths of not a whole lot in between, and that's the way we like it. We prefer our cornfields to our highways and our farmland to our concrete jungle.

  • With that, simple life comes an appreciation of the simple things. We like good dairy products, good beer, and good friends. But we need to keep those friends entertained, so every now and again, we will send them a meme. All the better if the meme is about being a Midwesterner. It's our favorite subject.
