You got that right. Mrs. Afterguard and I are both from Fargo (well, actually across the river in Moorhead) and we go back there every few years since we both still have extended family there. But we’ve lived in warmer climes for over 40 years and wouldn’t dream of going back to stay, only because of the winters. It was however,a perfect place to grow up.
It was SO perfect that your children won't have that same perfect place to grow up. I get it.
Well, if North Dakota was SO perfect IT would have 38 million people and NOT California. If it were THAT perfect MORE people would suffer the winters for that "perfection."
