    "One does not simply walk into Minnesota. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Mall Cops of America are ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly."?

    So apparently the Super Bowl is gonna be in MN in 2018. I hate football, but I'm almost tempted to rent out my basement as an AirB&B if there's demand enough from travelers.

    thank you for sharing @Mayabird , thats cool

    And I need to go there some time in the summer too, because while we were going around the guide pointed out the places where the warblers breed during warmer times of the year. Cape May warblers off one dirt road, Nashville warblers in about every tree in another area, golden-winged warblers and magnolia warblers and all sorts of others, plus lots of other species that I usually only see for a couple weeks in spring and fall as they migrate through. Sax-Zim Bog is a great birding area.

    Ugh, we always getting this freezing rain bullshit when I have to drive somewhere for work. I was driving 15mph, gave myself plenty of time to gently come to a stop and still managed to almost slide into an intersection.

    i dont know about warblers, but the suburb where i grew up had a lot of turkeys and its really weird seeing a bunch of turkeys up in a tree.

    also for the superbowl, my apartment is literally just across 35w from the new stadium, i can see it very easily from my window. and as such we actually had a gentleman come to our apartment and talk to us about if we wanted to be a part of this thing where we basically rented out our apartments as hotel rooms for super bowl weekend. lots of my neighbors are doing it and im not super excited about having random crowds of people coming thru my building. having the superbowl that close was gonna be terrible enough on its own.

    Yeah, I had to cancel some in-state work travel I had planned for today because I was worried about the snow...

    Naturally when I ignore planned weather it always ends up being worse than predicted.

    Groupon had the $89 tickets for like $65 yesterday so I'm gonna go!

    Also, other than the Spoonbridge, are there other sights you tend to take visitors when they travel from out of town?

    The trial of the officer who killed Philando Castille came back Not Guilty.

    I would heavily suggest staying out of downtown if at all possible.

    He did literally everything right and still got killed in front of his family. I'm still waiting on the NRA to come out in strident defense of his conceal carry permit rights.

    they pulled him over because he looked black, literally "he looks like the suspect because he has a broad nose", could the cop in question have been any more in the wrong? The girlfriend and child are lucky they didn't get sprayed with bullets too, I guess. I mean, they still cuffed her at gunpoint...

    Even worse, the story talks about court records. Who knows how many times he got pulled over without sufficient pretense to pin a citation on him?
