Minnesota Nice

After at least 15 bazillion titles I have finally settled on Minnesota Nice as the title of my memoir. According to Wikipedia Minnesota Nice is: the stereotypical behavior of people born and raised in Minnesota, to be courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered. The cultural characteristics of Minnesota nice include a polite friendliness, an aversion to confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a fuss or stand out,

It’s the End of the World as We Know It

If you're like a good chunk of the US population, and probably a large percentage of the rest of the world, you probably think that come Friday, it's the end of the world as we know it. Or maybe it will be the end of the world? Who knows, maybe shortly after Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States,

How to Drive in Snow

Now more than ever it's important to learn how to drive in snow. This past weekend a good chunk of the nation received several inches, if not feet, of snow.

Hillary Clinton is Not a Badass

Since it was divulged that Hillary Clinton has pneumonia, social media has lit up with memes about Hillary Clinton's super human stamina. Hillary Clinton is not a badass, Hillary Clinton is just like every other woman on this planet who ignores her own health. And it's a stupid thing to do. This isn't a political post, I don't care for Hillary Clinton's policies or much

Why We Can’t Stop Terror Attacks

I'm horribly saddened by the terror attacks in Paris last week. My heart goes out to those who are victims and their families. I know our government will stand shoulder to shoulder with France and talk about the fight on terror and how we've got them on the run and blah, blah, blah. I've heard it before. The problem is no matter how many people change their

It's expected to pass and  Governor Dayton has said he will sign the bill if it lands on his desk tomorrow. It's about time. If it passes same - sex marriages can begin August 1st, 2013.
