    Sorry, that made me laugh a little. Tourism is huge in MN including the Ely area. There are probably hundreds of resorts just in the Northern most region of MN alone.

    ... "thereabouts"...

    ;)



    Nah, it is what it is. The only ones that drive me crazy are the types like the one some guy posted in the bowhunting forum a couple days ago that was like 1,000 words long and one continuous paragraph. I gave up trying to read it.

    But it could if I'd let it; not only is it a degree in journalism, but one with an emphasis in news and editorial writing. Likewise, my master's in English is with an emphasis in teaching rhetoric and composition...

    I'm one of those weird guys who can spot spelling, grammatical, or syntactical mistakes in Reader's Digest.

    Greg they may not drive you nuts, but some of these posts sure get to me. English wasn't even my strong subject in school. :lol:

    Think I asked you this once before but you have ice houses for rent during the winter? I want to head up to Minnisota for a long weekend this winter and rent an ice house out on a big lake. Not sure how many people I need it to sleep yet. Either will be 2 or 6 people but I will find out!
