Saturday evening, the fam went to Lino Lakes DQ for some cones. Afterwards we went to the gas station to fill up the tank.
So Steve was standing outside the van putting in the gas. A limo was parked nearby. A man standing near the limo approached Steve and said, "Mrs. Minnesota is inside the gas station if you want to go in and say hi." Then he peeked through the van window, saw me and said, "Never mind. Your wife is here," and walked away.
So this guy was pacing around the limo, and the limo driver was standing in the parking lot talking on his cell phone. They looked like they thought they were VERY important.
We drove out of the gas station and sat at an intersection with a red light. The limo came out of the gas station, drove around us (ignoring the red light) , and went right through the intersection. A car had to slam on its brakes to keep from hitting the limo. They were putting Mrs. Minnesota's life at risk, right there in Lino Lakes.
We saw them drive south on Lake Drive toward Circle Pines. There are only two things in that direction: A bar called "Trapper's" and a trailer park. Hmm. I wonder where they ended up...

Oh that's a hoot. All of it! (OK, maybe not the dangerous part.) Jaw hanging open.

Richard wants to know what's the difference between the trailer park or the bar?

I was gonna say "both" but I guess Richard beat me to it.
I'm sorry, but does this guy think he is driving the PRESIDENT around? Good grief.

Pretending it was even possible...HA wait I'm laughing too hard. Okay, I'm better now.
Pretending it was even possible for myself to become Mrs. Minnesota, after reading this post, I do not think that I'd want to. Yikes.
