When we were there a couple of weeks ago!!!

Yeah, it's very different now. It snowed quite a bit last week, and it's all still here. The last 5 days has seen single digit highs, and negative single digit lows. Currently there are no degrees whatsoever.

Season 1 was great. Season 2 was greaterer.

"Maybe you heard of me... the Butcher of Luverne?"

"I have heard of you. And may I say... brother, I like your style."

When I drove right by Luverne on the way up here, I couldn't help but to think of that exchange.
