Скачать или смотреть How One Homeless Man's "Stupid" Idea Kept Him Warm Through 14 Minnesota Winters

You think you know what cold is. You do not. In Minneapolis, Minnesota, the average January temperature is fifteen degrees Fahrenheit. The city averages twenty-two days per year where the air temperature drops below zero — not wind chill, air temperature. And on the worst nights, wind chill can hit fifty-five below. That is the kind of cold that shuts down mail delivery and closes schools statewide. The kind that medical professionals say can kill an unprepared adult in less than two hours. Now imagine a man — no house, no shelter bed, no car, no heater — who looked at that cold and built something with his bare hands from what other people threw away. Not once. Not twice. Fourteen times. Fourteen winters. And the thing he built to survive them? Everyone who heard about it laughed. Called it stupid. Called him stupid. He is still alive. Most of the people who laughed at him never had to face what he faced. But if they did, they would not be laughing anymore.
