Where does southern MN start? Saw a commercial that had Rochester in it and I think of that to the twin cities as central and everything above as North.

I generally consider anything south of the southern suburbs to be southern MN. Central goes to about Brainerd.

Was taking my morning walk this morning, came across a skunk about 20 feet in front of me, changed direction real quick

The easy answer is once you cross the IA-MN border

Well IMO it's Southern Mn because it's on 90. I always thought a bit north of 90 (like maybe Owatonna) to the Cities central and once you get past the northern suburbs of the Cities north.

I went to a family reunion this weekend for some family on my mom's side. I heard a few interesting stories while I was there. My great, great grandfather was likely murdered by his second wife when she pushed him out of a moving car in 1927. She was charged, but not enough evidence to convict. My aunt put together a scrapbook that included the story and there were newspaper clippings about the trial.

Also found out that great grandmother got upset with my great grandfather and cashed one of his grain elevator checks and ran off to Minnesota for a couple weeks.

I wish my family reunions were that interesting.

Had one that turned into a drunken party every time. That one ended too soon.

Well, what do the Iowa-So. Minnesota Weekly Average Weight Barrows & Gilts reports cover?

Sometimes I get emails at work asking me something that has nothing to do with my job and I just feel like responding "How the **** would I know?"

Respond to the question with an equally dumb question that only moderately related to the one they asked you.

I just forward those emails to my manager with no context.

Tell you will respond once you finish eating this jar of Mayonnaise. It will confuse them.

The problem with that is I will get 8 billion questions on back side of that. My job is more like a good baseball umpire, if people don't notice me, that means I am doing good work.

I also always wait the full 24 hours to respond to any email as allowed by our company policy

I just won the publishers clearing house. Told them it’s nice but donate it to charity. They hung up……

Daughter told me some poor news this weekend. Apparently a lot of college kids she knows are maxing out student loans this year when they don’t need them. Could come back to haunt them.

I think I may still have some lung tissue I haven't coughed up yet...

OTOH, I am breathing better today, but it's definitely time to nebulize.

I just responded back saying I didn't see any automation set up to do what he is asking about so I wouldn't know.

Very diplomatic.
