If you wonder wether or not we are are insane, Judge for yourself Cold air does something to the human brain.

The following was taken from from The Forum Fargo's newspaper. I know this has been done, but it is still quite humorous and gives you an idea of what it is like up here.

Perception is a cold reality.A wise person once said, �There is no reality, just perception,� and that applies to being cold.

While �Today� show hosts discuss the �brutal� cold in the Big Apple when it hits 10 degrees, people in North Dakota are shrugging their shoulders and muttering, �They don�t know the meaning of �brutal.� �

The following, submitted via the Internet, perfectly sums up the difference in attitude about the cold between North Dakotans and the wimps living in the rest of the country.

Mini-Bio

In every neighborhood there is at least one house that all the neighbors gossip about. This is a diary from the woman who lives in that house. I am a single mother in her mid thirties. I live in North Dakota with my son, Warren.

I tend to be a bit of a slob, and am the opposite of a girly-girl. I am geek girl, who loves Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Buffy, Angel, action movies, science fiction, action adventure, Dr. Who, and so on and so on.

I love to write and while I don't post much fiction online anymore I would love to be a writer someday. I am also overweight, bipolar and suffer from allergy induced asthma.
