Cory,
It's not easy to live on a park bench in North Dakota. If the cold doesn't get a guy during the winter, the mosquitoes will eat a guy alive during the summer months.
There's a funny story related to this. Many years ago, we had a group of nuclear missile protestors arrive from out-of-State. They stretched their arms out and handcuffed themselves to a chain link fence surrounding a U.S.A.F. missile site. The local Sheriff was called in to handle the situation. Not a word was said. The Sheriff parked his vehicle at the site entrance and waited until sundown. Shortly thereafter he heard screams and shouts coming from the protestors. They wanted to be cut free. The mosquitoes were eating them alive and they couldn't swat them off. A deal was made........"I'll cut you loose, under one condition. You pack yourselves up and get out of the State, and don't return. If you agree, I'll cut you loose and no charges will be filed." They were gone within an hour.
