People do stupid shit in the cold when it counts

 So the Alaska National Guard brought Santa to a town, in -25 degree wind chill.  That's pretty damn cool.

Children in a small community in northern Alaska were so delighted for a visit by Santa that they braved wind chills of 25 degrees below zero just to see him.

When I lived in Wisconsin, there was a Christmas Train that came through the town every year.  Normally around the weekend right before Christmas.  The goal was to have people donate food, and you would bring non-perishables to the train tracks when the train came through.  They always, ALWAYS had a band in one of the train cars, and you would have an impromptu concert right there in the middle of the street before everybody would hand their food over and fill up the train with more food than you could count.

Honestly, it was awesome.  The band hand to deal with cold all the way along the route, and they would still rock it.  We would all stand out in below zero temps just to watch a ten minute concert and load food into a train car.  I have no idea how a guitarist could play dealing with that extended period of cold, and I have a small idea of how so many people could stand outside in temperatures that would freeze meat rock solid for an hour waiting for that ten minute concert.  But it happened.  

It gives me hope for humanity.
