Finding people with some common interests is much easier today. I don't feel so weird for being in love with Minnesota when I'm online, well, not AS weird! I thought of something else, are snakes much of a concern in MN? I'm guessing that it varies depending on location within the state but I'm under the impression that there aren't many venormous snakes in the far Northern reaches of Minnesota but that venormous snakes are present in some parts of Southern MN and maybe elsewhere also?

Minnesota has only one area, the southeastern corner of the state, with venomous snakes and those have decreased in number over the years. So the area in and around Winona would be that area and everywhere else you won't have to worry at all. In the western states they are much more common.
