TODAY'S NEWS: I hope you all had a great Mother's Day! The only thing I don't like about the holiday is when everyone gets caught up in Mother's Day fervor, and totally forgets about Minnesota Statehood Day (May 11th). This makes Minnesota feel like a kid whose birthday is on December 26th. So if you haven't thought at all about our 29th state this year, take a moment to appreciate Minnesota, or perhaps go to the Wikipedia page to learn more about "The US State That Looks Like An Anvil, Or Maybe A Partially-Crushed Tin Can"!
