Same goes here . The USA is more like 50 countries with a more powerful EU . People love to bash on the south , but you don ' t consider a Californian as being the same as a North Dakota resident or a Georgian . East and west coast are quite distinct , and even nearby states have different laws and traditions . <| sep |> Sa sorey is earth , rt sorey is dark , and sa alisha is dark . Truth be told I don ' t have much armor but this is what I do have thoughts ? <| sep |> Two years ago my friend and I were spending the night in a yurt we had rented up near the Friendship Gardens on the CanadianNorth Dakota boarder . We were thrilled with how amazing the yurt was . It was surprisingly warm for being a glorified tent in midMarch . And we could watch the stars from a skylight in the roof . Needless to say , we slept pretty soundly until about 4 am . All of the sudden I woke to the sound of something scratching on vinyl . I thought a squirrel had gotten in and was scurrying around on the vinyl mattress . I sprang out of bed to check but couldn ' t find anything . I thought it must be outside so I tried to back to sleep , but the scratching was incessant and it was moving , like something was trying to get in . Eventually I crossed the yurt and slept next to my friend . But then she woke up , saying she could hear scratching on that side of the tent . By that point we were pretty freaked out because the scratching was now following us . We immediately thought it was a person trying to get in because an animal probably wouldn ' t track our voicenot that far in the woods away from normal human contact . We sat in the middle of the yurt for the rest of the night holding a broom as defense waiting for someone to break in , and the ranger station didn ' t open until 7 . So we had no one to call for reinforcements . Finally around 6 I got up the courage to look out the blinds to see if it was an animal or a person because it had been about 2 hours and all they did was scratch . Immediately I felt like an idiot . It had snowed overnight and the heat from inside the yurt was causing the snow to melt . What we had heard was the snow sliding off the roof of the tent . Pretty terrifying .
