On the road again.

Apologies to all: Team Blapp has neglected the Blapp Report in recent weeks because we’ve been on a whirlwind breakneck chaos-filled barnstorming tour of the upper Midwest. Whew!

We’ll be back online more regularly very soon, but for now, here are some deep thoughts inspired by our travels.

1. Whitney Houston had it right: children are our future, so teach them well and let them lead the way.

2. The Scandia Bake Shop in Minneapolis makes the best glazed cinnamon twist pastries ever.

3. Sichuan Takin is NOT a meal – it’s a mammal related to a cow, native to mountain regions of east Asia. You can see one at the Red River Zoo in Fargo.

4. An alarming percentage of cars seen driving south through Minnesota on I-94 between June 28 and June 30 had Manitoba license plates. These may be the pre-invasion scouts… We suggest you start brushing up on French and the metric system now. Wolverines!

Cheers,

FYI: The best iced cinnamon twist pastries ever are not found at the Scandia Bake Shop; they are made at a place called Isle Bun and Coffee in Lake of the Isles.
