Silent Settlers
Last winter, I wrote a post complaining about how awful winter is, and about how I didn't understand why anyone decided to settle here. This was all because I had slid off the road into a ditch. This year is different, I walk to school, which I love (I noticed this morning my car was covered in a 1/8 inch layer of ice).
But, I'm still not sure why they thought, "Whoa, this is great let's live here!" Yeah, yeah, we have lakes, and trees...so?
My new theory is the early settlers were quiet people. They honestly didn't have too much to talk about. They spent their days hunting and gathering, in complete awkward silence. So, when ever it did snow, they livened it up, and they all complained in unity.
