The crop art was great, but our favorite exhibit is the Fine Arts Building. Here are some of the pictures we liked. Of course, they will be more impressive when you see them in person. We did not take photos of the many sculptures, which were also impressive

This chart, which I created, shows that, thanks to Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota is not a 50-50 purple. It is a 60-40 blue state. It also shows that Districts 1 and 8 are flippable in November.

I had no doubts that Angie would have been an excellent senator so I supported and donated to her campaign. I have no doubts that Peggy will be an excellent senator so I will support and donate to her campaign. See, that wasn't so hard.

We spent the day at Farmfest. governor debate: Klobuchar great, Dumeth good, Lindell unhinged, Qualls little farm knowledge. Senate debate. Craig great, Flanagan very good, Tafoya shallow, White most embarrassing performance ever
