Let’s just say my Kinja name had some inspiration. Yeah it was heavy and yeah there were a lot of vents but it was sure fun while it lasted.

Obligatory photo. Very interesting read, I wonder what my fellow Minnesotans would think of combining a Fargo accent with “the” I94

I am SO glad to finally hear someone else say this.

Someone needs to photoshop this into a Tesla hood or similar ASAP

Mixed track would be awesome. Half pavement half dirt or sand, it would even hark back to the original Daytona course so it’d play into a throwback or tradition approach. DO IT

“Ran when landed”

No love for Tamron?

“Window or Aisle seat?”
“Window, please”

Man, if I had it all to do over again I would have gone for a Conservation Officer with the DNR in a heartbeat. The sad thing is, they are having trouble finding people to take the job. They’ve relaxed the requirements but I think the thing keeping most away (and myself) is the Peace Officers Standards & Training…

The rest of it was up to the AI.

I’ve found in Minnesota people really like using lake names as a theme, all of our conference rooms at one company were lakes. When a sales exec vacated his large office and they decided to turn it into a Sales Dept conference room they held a competition for what lake to name it after.

Ooh, I like that. Way better than “Liberty” and “Justice” that my friend chose

While we wait for the site to bounce-back from the high traffic I’ll just share with everyone that I’ve named my fists “Pride” & “Prejudice”
