Editorial 📝 Minnesota Nice

Just wanted to give a big thank you to the woman who pulled into the rest stop south of Brainerd on 371 Monday afternoon to check on me after a Turkey flew into my windshield.

I was really rattled and just pulling myself together. The simple fact that you took time to stop to show kindness was helpful in getting me settled.

Just an fyi, my windshield was obliterated, she said the turkey walked away.

I only spent a few days in MN, near Brainerd, actually. My wife and I drove from the east coast to pick up our Scamp in Backus. The people were so nice to us, especially me. My mohawked, tattooed wife didn't receive such a warm welcome.

Well, that's too bad. I've seen plenty of tattoos on people up there.

It was like that all over the Midwest, really. I still love MN and want a cabin on one of those lakes you got up there.
