FISHDUCKY'S STATE OF THE UNION MESSAGE

There are many strange happenings in these, our United States.  There are many more than just 21 these I found in BuzzFeed.  Many states have strange laws, too.  You can see some of them here and also here.  

1. In Michigan, you can obtain a unicorn hunting license from Lake Superior State University.

2. The town of Talkeetna, Alaska, has had a cat named Stubbs as mayor for 15 years.

3. One town in Colorado celebrates a frozen dead guy for a few days every year with a festival

literally called Frozen Dead Guy Days.

4. West Virginia is plagued with tales of a mythical murderous creature called the Mothman.

5. In Carmel, California, high heels over 2 inches are strictly prohibited without a permit.

6. Two towns in Arizona get their mail delivered via mules.

7. There is a light bulb in Livermore, California, that hasn’t burned out for over 100 years.

10. You can thank former Rhode Island Gov. Ambrose Burnside for sideburns.

13. Neither Arizona or Hawaii observe daylight saving time.

14. The world’s largest furry convention, Anthrocon, occurs in Pittsburgh every year.

15. Monowi, Nebraska, has only one resident, and she’s the mayor, librarian, and bartender.

spots throughout New Orleans.
