so this is the real minnesota nice

Well, good old Mother Nature psyched us out today. On Saturday, I was out running in short sleeves. Today, I was out shoveling about 10 inches of snow. 10! My god. I got stuck in our driveway so I dug myself out and just kept digging. The amazing part of this story is that about halfway through the driveway, a van stopped by the house and two men got out. Get this-they offered to help me shovel. Whoa. It was a man named Dave and his son who live about a mile away. My next door neighbor also snowblowed a little for me. And while I regularly rip on Minnesota in favor of Wisconsin, I feel pretty darn lucky to be Minnesotan today.
