Lloyd,
I think you will miss the big water, and the big public ground in Northern Minnesota, not just the one you are familiar with. The immediate problem might be the Minnesota winter, which, until you’ve done a good one, is hard for civilians to wrap their head around. The temp was 5 degrees this morning, it is about the same, now. Balmy, to the regulars. Wood heat is my friend, now that elected officials are tilting at the energy windmills.The politics are going to be a wash, same old nonsense in both places.

I saw what happened at Ron’s place, very disheartening, but, not sure a move would make it better. Higher ground, might, but, that applies anywhere.

Best of luck, hard decision to make, but, I’ll see you wherever you end up.

Best,
Ted
