Two reasons I love this state.

1. When you overhear someone saying, "So, you're right wing, right?", you know they are not talking about conservative politics.

2. When a very, very, very drunk woman stumbles into you at a concert and you murmur, "Excuse me," it becomes extremely and sincerely important to her to correct this: "Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Excuse me."

The dog thinks it is time for me to go to bed now. The dog is wise.

I confess that here in California, when the drunk lady at the concert moved into the row behind me and spilled her beer on my head in the middle of "Innocent Man", the best I could come up with was a semi-gracious smile and a vague mumble of absolution.

It was *bad* beer, in my hair and on my clothes and she was Old Enough To Know Better. But I would fail Minnesota manners.

Don't feel bad. A lot of Minnesotans would "fail" at that level, too. Beer on the head requires an awfully good saving throw.

1. What are they talking about?

Hockey.

Thank you for saving me from having to be the one to ask this question!
