Licensed Lemonade

Kris and I escaped from The People's Republic of Minnesota in 2000, back to our Indiana homeland in the United States. I still (technically) work in Minnesota: I telecommute as a programmer and systems analyst from my home in the Hoosier Heartland to a suburb of the Twin Cities. Several folks (who have vacationed "up North") have asked us why we would leave such a beautiful place, especially as we're not particularly adverse to winter weather.

This article (from the Minneapolis Red Star Tribune) explains it all perfectly:

No License? No Pop Stand!

I was amazed to find the story (below) about the lemonade stand in St. Paul, Minnesota, already on Secular Blasphemy when I checked my Blogroll - but even worse was the link he had to this:

Last Fart at the Swedish National Bank

Aren't a lot of Minnesotans ethnic Swedes?
