Minne---SOTA

Well I am now in Minneapolis, MN for job training and I had a pretty interesting trip up here.

First we start of at DFW (That's Dallas-Forth Worth for those of you not in Texas). My wife drops me off and I head to check in. I place my bag on the scale and I am informed that I have to pay $25 for only 5 extra pounds in my bag. Why didn't I take my bookbag with me? Dumbass.

Then after I checked in my bad I headed down to my gate and realized something else. I have my tunes and my player, but no headphones......D'Oh. Dumbass. Well at least I was feeling tired so I can sleep through the flight.

While not feeling well with a headache & slight congestion, I sat at the gate waiting for the announcement to board the plane and I see on CNN Headline News that a judge was being arrested for exposing himself in a court room. WHAT!?!?!?!? I don't remember where this took place, but I just started laughing hard (not that one).

I finally get the announcement to board the plane and as I step on I noticed the the door and walkway one the plane was short and narrow. Found out that I wasn't on a standard American Airlines aircraft, but actually on their smaller jets named American Eagle (***Eagle Screech***).
Man it was cramped (height-wise) and when I used their facilities, let's say I have never had my top head forcibly bent down in the same direction as my bottom one. I just hoped we did run into turbulence and I crack or break my neck.

We approach Minneapolis-St. Paul (MAN THIS IS A LONG STORY) and my headache was still in effect creating dizzy spells. Well that combined with the bumpy descent of the jet cause big time nausea (oohhhh....). I made it down got my luggage and headed for car rental. They were going to cram my big butt into a midsized vehicle, but I was able to get a fullsize car. I had a big choice to make as I saw a Chevrolet Impala & a Pontiac Grand Prix. Well since me and my wife drove an Impala before I figure I try out the Grand Prix. Sweet choice. This car has nice power and sweet sound system. That made my day along with the judge showing his other gavel and somet.........uh nevermind.

Oh, I almost forgot. This also made my day (that makes 4 things). I get to the main desk at the hotel I'm staying at and the people walking around were talking and man oh man. I have never heard the Minnesotan Accent spoken as strong as I heard it here. I tried so hard not to laugh. I know.....BAD WIL!!!!

Oh Ya Sure......You Becha.

Okay. Time to get some grub and relax. Get rid of this headache.

Later.
