What I've Learned In Minnesota

One: When a GPS says "recalculating" (in its mechanical-yet-alluring Australian accent), it's really saying, "Hey, idiot, you missed the turn even though I've been telling you about it for two miles. Give me a second and I'll save your pathetic carbon-based butt again." It's like getting a passive-aggressive dressing down by the Jetsons' robot Rosie as played by Nicole Kidman in a live-action remake. (Note to Hollywood producers: You know the idea's brilliant. Call me.)

Two: Heated seats were made for February in Minnesota. My tushie like rental car lots.


Good grief, I am tired. Say goodnight, Jason.


("Goodnight, Jason.")

I was in Minneapolis (Eden Prairie, to be a little more specific) for a couple days on a work trip. Now, I'm back home in scenic Des Moines (My Fair City) Iowa.

My wife's from the Cities, so I did manage to get away from work and visit relatives for a bit. As my addled blog post shows, I was pretty wiped out and mentally dead by the time I called it a night on Monday.

This is extraordinary. People from Iowa are so polite. They go to Minnesota and come back, say nice things about rental car lots in Minnesota, poke a little fun at getting lost and go home. And the people from Minnesota make jokes about Iowans. Definitely not nice.
