Grand Forks, North Dakota, 2.41 pm.
Update from a reader:
Love the view from Grand Forks today. I am fifty miles away, under the same conditions. Fucking weather.
This Saturday, I am declaring a run for the MN House of Representatives against an incumbent Tea Partier. I am openly gay. This is a entirely rural district. Lots of elderly. But I know them all, and I think I will win. My partner is practicing his “first man” wave. Today, the only daily paper in the district submitted a list of questions to me, including one asking me to “share my emotions” about the gay marriage debate in MN. I have four days to figure out how to respond. I may just say, “I don’t share my emotions. I am a Minnesotan.”
It is a brave new world. And I am enjoying it.
