Since it is the 18th of January I figured it was about time to change my Christmas header image. The economic stimulus plans floating around have included the need for increased investment in our infrastructure such as roads and bridges. The new header image is from an old slide from my father’s archives when I-90 [...]

Early Saturday morning, a minivan with Rock County DFL delegates set out to Albert Lea to attend the 1st CD convention. Despite the blustery winds and icy conditions on I-90 we arrived safely to join the other delegates from across the 1st CD to take care of business.

I worked some overtime Sunday (Michelle would be proud), and had to drive the 30 miles home on a windswept I-90. After only traveling several miles and seeing 3 vehicles in the median and ditch I knew it would be a slow, stressful, and frustrating trip home. We did not receive any snowfall in SW Minnesota [...]
