So it's been a while interwebs. How have you been? Let me just apologize in advance for the false post about an upcoming post on that following day. Can you forgive me? Yes? All right then. Let's get this show started.
As you may or may not know, I was kind of, sort of, definitely stuck in North Dakota for about a week longer than planned. The events preceding my fiasco were all well and fine except when I had made the attempt to flee from a blizzard. Mother nature hates me apparently. Well about three hours into the trek back home, the car hits ice, and ends up in about a foot deep worth of snow in the median of an interstate. Long story incredibly short, that car ended up totaled.
But there is some what of a life lesson that can be taken from this. Other than the whole "DON'T USE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE OUTRUNNING TERRIBLE WEATHER" thing. Dumb, I know now. Well in order to not be stranded two hours from a friend's home and ten from my own home, it became necessary to hitch hike. Now I know what you're thinking, "Oh haha, you got raped to get a ride." And no, that's not at all what happened. Instead there was a trucker that got us half-way back to our destination in North Dakota before he had to stop. But he still continued to help! He actually managed to find us a ride all the way back to where we needed to be. They were genuinely good people. As in every situation there was also the complete opposite of just mean, but they don't deserve mention.
I guess the moral of the story is that people from North Dakota and (parts of) Minnesota are actually really nice and the rest of the country could take a lesson in hospitality from these people. I'll put up the story of this venture sometime in the next week.
