Sister Freaking Out!

Sommer, needed a break and took off to Iowa two weeks ago.
Her idea of Heaven: bratwursts, antiques and craft beers!
I could see a day off that, but TWO weeks?

So I get a panicked text from her.
She just got home and the neighborhood is on fire.
Thousands are rioting,
And the governor has called for the national guard ...

Yeah, she lives in Minneapolis.
In fact only a block from where the cops managed to kill yet another black man.
They had not fully recovered from the last time this happened!

So, she is freaked out.
Even thinking of finally leaving this Hell-hole for good!
Yeah, any place with Minneapolis' weather is what I equate to a Hell-hole,
Baking sunshine with droughts.
Freezing long winters, with power outages.
Heavy rains in fall, with flooding.
Rains with flooding in spring.

Heck yeah, sounds like a must live in to me!

So, I told her again to come out here.
"Heck no! Don't you remember 40 years ago?"

Oh course I do.
One does not forget 35 hours fleeing a volcanic blast!
Nor the week of blindness I suffered through.
Not to mention all of the eye rinses to get the ground mountain out of my eyes!
Never have worn my contacts since!

Hmmmmm.
Rioting or volcano?
I think I would prefer brats in Iowa ......
Prosit Sommer!
