I'm in the suburban Twin Cities (work in Eden Prairie, live in Edina) at just about exactly 45 degrees latitude on this old globe.... Further north even than Rosie....
Never been to Ely, yet. We always go up to the Grand Marais area once a summer and Bemidji area once a summer. Alas, those trips are fading memories right now. Next year we (the boys of the extended family), are planning a BWCA trip jumping off through Ely. Can't wait....

'He is attractive enough!'
You're joking, right? PLEASE tell me you're joking!!
You've got to admit, he is better than that Orc Hair was swooning over a few days ago!

My family is from Flom, Minnesota!

The precious has taken all of them.I know it will get me too. Already I feel it's mystical power infiltrating my soul. Should I escape while I still can?
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Golly, guess you didn't need my help... But it's always welcomed. I was trying to respond back to you and my PC froze up...(probably the little gerbil inside was exhausted from all that sneaking...)

RE: Lamentations of the Father
That was one of the funniest things I have read in a LONG time. ;^)

Now watch everyone over there decide they hate that piece now that they know Garrison Keillor wrote it! Keillor wrote it? Yeah, that's why I pinged you over to see it, what a piece of garbage...
Just kidding. I think it's hysterically funny, no matter who wrote it.

I have resisted the precious, especially the sem-precious. It is possible... But dwarves seem susceptable.
To: HairOfTheDog
Never heard of it before. But there it is, on the trusty Minnesota map in my office, about 20 or so miles NE of Detroit Lakes....

Should I escape while I still can? You cannot escape. We are all bound by the fate of the precious now...
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
Have you not heard?
One Ping to Rule them all,
One Ping to find them,
One Ping to bring them all
and in the FReepness bind them.
To: Corin Stormhands
Well, it keeps going past that... The whole piece is funny. I make no secret of loving Garrison Keillor. His stories are true... not political. I have never even heard him say anything political enough that it should offend conservatives.

RE: Lamentations of the Father..... That was one of the funniest things I have read in a LONG time. ;^)I second that!
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
LOL! - It's OK - No one has heard of Flom before! There are still hitching posts in front of the church. And they are used!
To: Overtaxed; HairOfTheDog
Here are the three I highlighted so you don’t have to go back and read the whole thing…..
25.) Propaganda. - The Elves, clearly the most advanced and wise species, are also clearly gay.26.) Speaking of Elves... - Elves are beautiful and wise and tall? Great warriors? Makers of fine lightweight weapons? Our modern knowledge of elves has observed only an ability to make cookies and toys. All the elves in the film are portrayed as living in a warm paradise (Rivendell) but our own information tells us the aforementioned group of toymaking elves work and thrive in the arctic. Hey, Mr. Jackson: Research is half of writing.
39.) Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow. - The most advanced civilization is that of the elves, which are long-haired, new-age types? Sorry, Mr. Jackson, but modern science has proven that in any modern civilization, hippies would be extinct.
Priceless…..elves=gay, toy making, cookie eating hippies, thanks Hair! ;^)

Garrison Keillor is quite liberal (as we here in Minnesota know all too well, especially from a personal/social standpoint), but that does not reflect on his very talented and humorous output. Lake Woebegon Days is one of the funniest books I have ever read, and completely apolitical....
To: ksen
But I posted the piece as a general example of STUPID THINKING! If you find that you agree with any part of it, I am truly sorry!
To: ksen
LCS, did you hear me beep and see me wave when I went through Ocala on 8/18, and then again on 8/23?Think I heard the beep, but I was a bit far for the wave. Did you take the Interstates all the way, or did you take the shortcut through Chiefland and Perry? It cuts out close to an hour. You keep hearing that Florida has no empty areas anymore, then you take that nearly 400 mile trip, mostly without any built up places.
To: Corin Stormhands
LOL!
The FReepnessSounds like "Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room....etc...
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
A Prairie Home Companion, the radio show is mostly apolitical too, and I love them... still listen most Saturdays. And my very conservative father and I own every tape. It has brought me a lot of joy to listen to the tapes with my dad, because he and I can never have mushy talks, but they bring us together and we feel close when listening. Priceless.
