The Lights Are Back On

We have returned from vacation and regular posting will begin shortly. A few exceptionally quick observations:

• Cleveland, Ohio is a long way from Minnesota, but it's pretty user-friendly once you get there.
• I am very glad we do not have toll roads in Minnesota (assuming you stay out of the Lexus lanes during rush hour) -- the states of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio nicked us pretty good.
• Chicago politics appear to remain quite screwed up.
• It's going to be a lot of fun turning Mark Dayton into a pinata for the next few months.

Thanks to Mike for taking care of things here. More -- lots more -- soon.
