A View to a Kill

Let's discuss for a moment the various Views in the Northeast suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul. I seem to go there a lot and my expense report is going to reflect this very soon. First off, they are a long way away. I started panicking when my meetings ran past 3:00. I absolutely refuse to drive through spagetti junction in rush hour. I'd never get home. One hour in the car without traffic I can handle, two hours spent parked on the freeway I can't. I especially cannot handle this when my meetings have delivered nasty news that will mean a vast increase in my workload and major problem solving skills. I've decided that Shoreview = Bad.

Yesterday, I discovered that Mounds View has a Taco Bell/Long John Silver. I had never imagined one could order hush puppies and tacos in the same fast food restaurant. Then because I couldn't get back to the freeway, I had some issues. Barb needs to work on fixing it so that visitors to her fair town do not have these issues and can get to their meetings on time. I've decided that Mounds View = Fair.
