It’s Hot

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!!

THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD IS!!

I have not lived there for some time but I grew up in Minnesota and my first introduction to "Minnesota Nice" was defined as "you know how everyone is passive aggressive because even if you don't like someone you have to hunker down all winter together and be stuck inside with each other. So you have to be nice."

Dealing with snow and ice is far and away where I noticed such neighborly acts. Shoveling each others driveways (if only because you know they'll do a terrible job). Digging out each others cars (even though it's their own fault for spinning the wheels so much). Waking up well before the sun to salt the sidewalk so the mail person and the dog walkers don't slip (why the fuck are they up so early). And by god your neighbors will still be annoying but maybe it's all worth it to hear them say "thanks for shoveling the sidewalk, my back hurts today."
