And - it's snowing again. This better not be a reprise of 79 - that year the snow was so high from the plows that my brother and I created an igloo on the parkway that we could stand up in. Bloody miracle it didn't collapse and suffocate us both! 🤣 #snow #chicago #winter #snowstorm

I am in a community about ways to build your own community and I am in conversation with the founder and he said he didn't know what folklore is. I defined it and he came back and said he still doesn't understand what it is. Am I in a folklore bubble and there are people who have never HEARD of it?
