Mastering the Art of Wind: A North Dakotan’s Guide
Ah, the wind in North Dakota—that invisible and at times oppressive force that insists on making its presence known, whether you like it or not.
If you find yourself in the Peace Garden State, learning to deal with the wind isn't just a skill; it's a survival tactic.
Here's a tongue-in-cheek guide to mastering this elemental dance:
Embrace the Lean
Walking against the wind? Lean into it like you're in an invisible mosh pit. Let the wind guide your steps and pretend you're auditioning for a part in a dramatic stage play about resistance against nature's fury.
Fashion Forward
Forget about those fancy hairstyles; embrace the wind-tousled look. It's the perfect excuse for a spontaneous makeover—wind-swept chic is all the rage (or so we tell ourselves).
Secure Your Belongings
Keep a vigilant eye on your possessions. North Dakota's wind has a sneaky habit of making off with hats, papers, and anything else not nailed down. Secure your belongings like a paranoid squirrel protecting its stash.
Develop Wind Wit
Engage in wind-related banter with fellow Dakotans. Complain about it passionately in the winter and lament its absence in the summer. It's a bonding experience akin to complaining about the traffic in LA—a shared suffering that brings people together.
Tactical Driving
When driving, become adept at predicting gusts and sudden changes in direction. It's like playing a high-stakes game of Mario Kart, but with tumbleweeds instead of bananas.
Mastering the art of dealing with the wind in North Dakota isn't just about survival; it's accepting things that are outside of your control.
Next time you feel the wind howling across the prairie, remember these tips and smile knowingly—you're now a seasoned veteran in the battle against the elements.
