Why?

Because today is Palindrome Day in the United States (although not for some of our European friends), because it is 01-11-10.

5 Ways to Know You’re Minnesotan

  1. You refer to 12 degrees as a "warm spell."
  2. When the thermometer hits 35 degrees, you open your car window and leave your coat at home.
  3. You start looking forward to April in October. If you’re lucky.
  4. You believe "blizzard" is a four-letter word.
  5. Your Halloween costume is usually a heavy coat, stocking cap, gloves and scarf. But you wear different gloves every year, so it counts.

Got any suggestions to add to this list?
