If Wholly Mammoth Balls didn't communicate this well enough, put plainly, it is absurdly cold in Minnesota today. Tomorrow promises to be even colder. For the first time this year, I am regretting my impractical approach to transportation in Minneapolis. Even die-hard winter bikers are pedaling in disbelief. That is, of course, if they can maintain concentration. Though not clinically proven, I'm fairly certain the biting wind induces an arctic strain of ADD.
On a brighter note, the shining sun creates an optical illusion of warmth. Yet, seeing is not believing. Not today. Today, believing is believing and I believe Minnesota is God's Cold Minty Toothpaste. Like the kind of toothpaste so potent, its fumes sting your eyes. The kind that makes you want to switch brands and that kills small birds. The kind that operates by reminding you of all the cavities you've neglected.
At any rate, I was sent an awesome video this afternoon. I'm not sure what more to say then: LOOK! Honestly, who doesn't enjoy an elaborate display of eclectic stop-motion paper crafts?

And while on the subject of paper crafts, this weekend the annual Art Shanty Project commences on the icy surface of Medicine Lake. "A Paper Shanty" is one of numerous themed ice houses imagined, proposed, funded then constructed by artists including my coworker and soul sister Claudette et al. Kudos to her team and all the other Minnesotans that find inspiration in such a desolate season.
