A little writing style practice ... I'm paraphrasing a news article I just read ... I'm practicing giving my sentences more punch ...
Charles Gonsoulin, a Los Angeles man, went into Canada to meet his internet girlfriend. Because he robbed a Pizza Hut in 1984 he could not enter Canada legally. So across the North Dakota border he snuck. He had never before experienced temperatures below about 50 degrees Farenheit. Having no idea that anyplace on earth could be so inhospitable, he wandered into a golf course in Emerson, Manitoba, where he was found suffering from hypothermia.
Severely frostbitten, Chuck had to have all ten of his fingers and some of his toes amputated.
Now receiving medical treatment in a jail in Winnipeg, Chuck says it was all worth it - because life is about going out and doing things, not sitting around at home. Chuck has yet to meet his girfriend face-to-face, but he says they are still very much in love.

That girl must feel like the Princess Bride.
