Minnesota Winters

Has it ever occurred to anyone but me that this earth is just barely

colder than ever. I am cold all the time. Damn these northern climes!

My idea of paradise is a warm climate year around. Minnesota is miserable in
the winter and not much better in the spring and the fall. Only the summers
redeem this confounded state.

I dream of Panama. Oh, to *reside in a warm climate year around! Who could
ask for anything more. But I am cursed by my Irish ancestors who settled in
this inhospitable land of Minnesota. I have spent all of my life (over 70
years) cursing this god forsaken land. I am sick to death of the cold. God
damn this ****ing state of Minnesota all the way to Hell and back!

A friend who was on the faculty at Marquette said that the summers
were very pleasant in Milwaukee if it didn't rain that weekend.

Much more pleasant to be by the lake than "well inland" [1] (e.g. 'Tosa)
during the summer - typically about 6° C cooler.

[1] As the local meteorologists say.
