The weather is finally starting to look a lot like Fall. So much so that there was a down pour the other day that looked like it was something out of a movie on the Midwest. The streets flooded, people panicked, and the roads came to a complete stop! LOL. These are the moments that I'm so happy to sport that Minnesota plate on my Jeep. Yup.
This is kids play to a native Minnesota person. We don't really flinch when it down pours. We usually spit out a bunch of expletives realizing that we likely left the windows up at home and now the entire place is likely covered with some fresh smelling rain water!! Hahahaha. We live for this kind of weather secretly, and when we get it, we thrive! If you have one of us around, it doesnt' matter what kind of weather we're getting, you chances of survival have gone up 100%! LOL. Snow. Hail. Sleet. Ice rain. Humidity. Extreme hot. Extreme cold. It doesn't matter. We're know how to take it...cause we're Northlanders, and Minnesota is where we play; where we live, and where we will return from wherever we are in the world to take our last rest. Yeah. I'm pretty damn proud of being one of us!
All that being said, I'll be happy to visit home when it snows and leave after a few days because I've discovered that although I can take it, I'm happy not to and just enjoy a more Fall/Spring like climate for the Winter season. I don't have anxiety that it's gonna get so cold I can't go out. I don't miss the sun when the clouds come because I know, sooner or later the same day, they'll be gone. I don't have to worry about "Winter" clothes even though I have them in my jeep...just in case! But, we miss it! All the people I've met in various places around the world and even here in California miss home. We miss all the change that can happen in any given one day. We don't miss being stuck in our home day after day with no sunlight, freezing temps for seemingly endless days, and the melancholy music that plays on every radio station. We always go back though..just to remember! LOL.
