This always reminds me of one morning in early November, years and years ago, when somebody at work looked out the window and saw big, fluffy flakes falling. It normally doesn’t snow here until late December or January, if at all. This wasn’t in the weather forecast. We stood at the window and marvelled at it, and then somebody else came in and asked if anybody had heard who won the election for governor of Mississippi. Yes, we said, Fordyce did, and then it hit us: Mississippi had elected the first Republican governor since Reconstruction. Hell had finally frozen over. Both my Republican parents and Democrat inlaws thought that was funny.

Hell freezes over
I believe I’m correct in saying that “Hell” is in fact in Norway – and it often “freezes over” – so all of those of you out there that have been told you can’t do something (or somebody else won’t do something) “till hell freezes over” – go for it, and enjoy 🙂

This picture was taken in Hell, Michigan. It is a very small town about 20 miles from where I live. About the only thing that the town is known for is its funny name. Despite that name, it is actually a nice little community set back in the woods. The local gas station/party store always has t-shirts in stock that have different humorous phrases on them like “I’ve been to Hell and back…Hell, Michigan.”
We have a town in South Africa named Hotazell… and it comes close to the real thing in the summer. Then we have a quaint valley in the Karoo called “Die Hell” wich means The Hell in inglish… strange that we should have 2 places referring to hades in one country… 🙂
