If you leave your kiddie pool blown up in Vermont, you can guarantee yourself some visitors later on. Moose love cooling off on a hot summer day like the rest of us. It’s OK if they take a dip in your paddling pool, nothing terrible is going to come from it.
But you will want to watch out for them on the road as they cause several traffic-related deaths every year. Now, let’s start thinking about emptying that water from the pool and replacing it with a couple of hundred tubs of Ben and Jerry’s. Now that’s going to be very refreshing.
Texas
Welcome to Texas, where cattle outnumber humans. The only place where you can take your cattle to the Sonic drive-thru and score a handicapped spot. We're sure the cattle love them some fries and a milkshake. Look at the horns on that guy!
But let's digress from the confines of this photo. Texas is huge. It's bigger than maybe most of the world's countries. And yet, it also feels very small in a weird kind of way. Do you know what we mean? The identity seems so distinctive. We've grown up to assume that all Texans are cowboys and cowgirls. Obviously, that just isn't the case. But we can only dream until we eventually visit the Lone Star State.
Utah
The only place where you could advertize on your car the number of wives and children you have. Polygamy is rampant in this state. But truth be told, this guy should probably rent a school bus. Utah is in many ways, just a normal state like many others. But then there is the Mormon element.
The Church of Latter Day Saints was founded in this part of the world, and it does have a pretty big impact on large parts of society here. Not to mention the incredible churches that this denomination builds for its followers. It is a pretty awesome state to pass through and experience. But to live there? You might want to consider converting first.
Virginia
We got to give credit where it is deserved. This guy spelled most of the words right, he just missed a few. And we appreciated that he spelled police the way that he pronounces it. "Poh-lice." Love it! Virginia is the place to get happy on moonshine and get free samples.
Virginians seem nice and the police seem, well, not the brightest if we are going to be completely honest. How can something so strong and mind-altering sound so sweet and poetic? Because when the moon shines in our neck of the woods, it's a pretty beautiful thing to see.
West Virginia
Could a photo be any more West Virginian? We're not sure if that's even possible. In the aftermath of a flood, a determined lady triumphantly holds up a freshly caught trout she reeled in from the street itself. If we can learn anything from this image, it's that the people of West Virginia are extremely resilient. But that's not all, they are very resourceful.
If a meteorite was to hit the Earth tomorrow, it would be the Mountain State residents who would be the best at adapting to the extreme conditions. We would go as far as saying that West Virginians are forces of nature in their own right. Oh country roads...
