Ouch. I peeled a sweet potato and starting the first cut when it rolled, and the knife blade sliced deep into into my index finger nail bed and side of my finger. It took months for the chuck to grow out. 

Minnesota Nice ran into Minnesota Budget Fuckery and charter schools. The stable funding of schools was trashed about a decade ago, and charter schools have been siphoning funds from public schools.

Don’t tell my wife this story. She’ll want to upgrade her Forester XT.

Yep, exactly.

Are you using the trip computer or doing the miles/gallons math on the receipt? With our FXT, the receipt math tells a very different and lower mileage story than the trip computer.

I am wondering what my parents will buy next time. They are hardcore Ford people and have only ever bought one non-Ford vehicle back in the 70s.

My wife’s GTI had no brake lights when the switch behind the brake petal failed and needed replacing. The car was under 3 years old at that point.

This makes me laugh! Our Doberman would recognize our neighbor coming up the alley by his exhaust sound and run to greet him, his nubbin tail wagging away.

My coworker’s parents received a lithium ion cordless drill about a month ago in their name. They didn’t order it and brought it back to UPS to return to Amazon. The next day, someone came by looking for it on their porch, thinking they were not home. Being retired, they were and called the police while the person…

My wife bought an ‘01 GTI 1.8t with 24,000 miles on it when she was 31 and sold it 12 years later with only 49,000 miles on it. The shame is she only worked 8 blocks from home, so it didn’t get driven much.

My nine-year-old approves this message.

Looks like Minnesota road construction season, only someone left a spot to zipper merge.

My wife teaches in a high poverty city school (90 percent free or reduced lunch), and this is one of the toughest things she sees year after year. Kids happy to come to school for the food alone, and the stability it provides. She and our son went to a neighborhood library during the summer, and the district food…

Okay, I love the exclusively female debate team that kicked ass. Awesome!

Just watch out for the occasional Amish buggy.

I figured this one out when my wife left a box of borrowed expensive art books in the trunk of her GTI. Costly, costly mistake.

The Nokian WRG3 tires are excellent tires. My wife gave me a little side-eye when I ordered them for her Subaru, but she loves how they feel on the road.

They just switched, so I expect them to start leaving any time now.

My wife teaches. She will resign the day they expect her to carry a firearm into her school. She will pull our child from school and teach him from home rather than have anything to do with firearms in any school.

Having owned a Subaru from those years, it’s probably just the headlight bulb burning out. Again. And again. And again.
