At this point, it is more than a 'bad day'.

6. I am in Minneapolis.

And, as a very learned person who I met here, but is not from here, once said to me:

"A Minnesotan will give you directions to anywhere except their house."

When I had my heart surgery, I met one of the floor nurses who was from my (general) neck of the woods. She told me that, after almost ten years living up here, most of the local people she worked with had 'no idea what to do with me'.

I have found both sayings to be very true.

Now, I am not going to sit here and say I am blameless in whatever the issue is with finding someone who will do more than walk past me with their head down and their eyes averted, but I am sure confused as to what I did to create this situation.
