Life in Minnesota

[tahnan]

The thing is that, when you're from where I'm from, the culture shock of being here is noticeable. They just don't do things the way you do them; they don't even think the way you do, and a lot of the basic language is different. Sometimes it's all you can do to get by.

Minnesota's that way, too.

Incidentally, for those Carletonians who missed it: Northfield politics has suddenly started to make Providence politics look sane. From the Northfield News, Mayor refuses to step down; from the Star-Tribune, Northfield mayor loses desk and key. ("When Northfield's embattled mayor refused to resign Saturday, the college town's City Council told him to clean out his desk and turn in his City Hall key.") Phenomenal, really.

Knowing where you're from, I'm curious as to what assumptions you've had thwarted by time in Minnesota.
