Raise your hand if you're sick of scams! It seems that city officials in Minnesota and Wisconsin have to warn residents of new scams daily. However, it's a good thing they do or more people could find their personal information and even money stolen.

When it comes to sightings of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or as I like to call them, Stink Apes, there are believers and nonbelievers. I don't know about you, but I prefer to live in a world where these creatures exist, which is why I'm also curious when a sighting is reported. Many others must feel the same way, which is why the Bigfoot Mapping Project exists. The Bigfoot Mapping Project is a crowd-sourced database and web application designed to collect and analyze Bigfoot sighting reports worldwide.

They say timing is everything, which can be true in various aspects of life, from personal decisions and professional achievements to relationships and even health. While those are also very important things for everyone in Minnesota, they can also apply to things less crucial, like shopping.

There's no shortage of games when it comes to winning money with the Minnesota Lottery. You can play the national games that seem to get the most publicity, like Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, and more, but there are other ways to win big. Take, for example, North 5, the daily $1 Minnesota-only lotto game where you can win the jackpot by matching all 5 numbers. You can also pay an extra buck to add the EZ Match option for a chance to win up to $500.

While people in Wisconsin don't have nearly as many dangerous creatures to worry about, there are threats to those who enjoy spending time outdoors. For example, it was recently confirmed that potentially deadly Asian needle ants were living in the state.

Traveling can be an amazing experience because it provides the opportunity to see different parts of the world and experience new things that aren't possible in Minnesota. However, traveling can also pose health risks as it can introduce a new microorganism into a new geographic area, or expose a traveler to a new disease their bodies are not prepared to defend against. This could be a new disease or an existing disease that a traveler hasn't been immunized against.
