You got that right. If there's one thing I hate it's books
about places different from where I live.

ObCharacter: John Carter?

Of Mars?

Well, that's where I was going with it. You're a nice-seeming fellow and
your posts are always well worth reading

And I've always found your judgement to be more than sound ...


(I liked this one, though I have to say, there is quite a difference between
reading about places foreign and exotic and reading about Minneapolis, and
if you tell me that you bought the Lonely Planet guide to the Twin Cities
the day it came out, or that you've perused libraries for _just_ the book
that finally answers all those questions you had about the qualities that
laid the ground for the 1980's Minneapolis theatre scene...)


I must confess I've had a special fondness for the greater
Minneapolis-St. Paul area going back to my formative years, when The
Cat in the Hat Beginner Book Dictionary first introduced me to the
concept of Minnetonka.

Bruce (I used to know the name of all the quad cities too, but lately
I blank on the one that isn't Rock Island, Davenport, or Moline)
