When hell becomes heaven.

So easy for me to imagine being a Russian.  At this very moment. Because the temperature range in Moscow  today is supposed to be 1 degree below zero and 1 degree above zero.  Fahrenheit. Here in Minnesota, we’re  expecting 12 below tonight and high of zero  tomorrow.  Russians and Minnesotans know true winter. And some of us love the briskness. We’re hearty people who know how to enjoy life. No matter the temperature. Others don’t. Take the Germans. In World War II. And the French. Under Napoleon. They were stupid enough to invade Russia in mid-winter. Only to meet defeat. Because they froze their asses off. Couldn’t take the cold. We Minnesotans and Russians were born to withstand hell freezing over. And still think we are in heaven. –Jim Broede
