…that a film crew came to New Ulm and took some outside shots for the movie but that they didn’t actually film there because of tax reasons. At least they kept the setting I suppose. Gran Torino is another example of Minnesota losing out on our own movies.

…..from Madelia where we buy honey and peanut butter. Kind of random but it’s good stuff. We’re kind of kicking ourselves for not buying a house in St. Peter and going with Mankato instead. We looked at one right across the street from the St. Peter community center and balked on it because it was 5k over what we wanted to spend. In retrospect, being across from a park (with 2 kids) in a town where we could have walked everywhere would have been nice.

…I had to pull off the road on Hwy 14 outside of Sleepy Eye during the last snow storm. Up the hill on the prairie it can get a bit silly when the wind picks up in winter.

Wasn’t that a Simpsons episode?
