Today, on a Saturday, as I was driving to Dassel to take pictures for work (Yessss on a SATURDAY!!!) I was listening to MPR's "Wait Wait Don't tell me!", one of my favorite radio gameshows. Okay, so radio isn't known for its game shows but the wit and stories told on this one often has me in stitches.
Anyway, one of the contestants they phoned to play a game with the panel of celebrity guests was from Minneapolis. When she was asked how things were going, the contestant said it was cold but it keeps the riff raff out. One of the celebrity judges said she wasn't in Minnesota because of the cold and the contestant said something like exactly...making her point that the riff raff was out.
Great come back.
But as I was driving to Steve Dille's farm to take the pictures...driving on a gravel road, iced over from last weekend's storm, putting the explorer in four-wheel drive...I kept thinking of that riff raff.
How many people would venture out in our sub-zero cold much less the icy roads? Not many. Not many Minnesotans for that matter.
We are a tough lot! We are from good Viking stock!
But I still could've done without the ice.
