I do fly into MSP, but I take the Rochester shuttle from the airport to Rochester. One year, I definitely need to make time on my way in to take a trip over there!
I have a story involving Rochester, MN, that I’ve posted about here before, but, it was a while back...
When I was 4 yrs. old and we still lived in San Antonio, TX, my pop left his job at Alamo Iron Works for a job at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL in 1966. After about 18 mos. there, himself and and co-worker got jobs with ol’ “Big Blue” (IBM

). The new jobs were in Rochester.
My pops co-worker and his family had already been on the road for about an hour.
Just a few minutes before we left the house for Rochester, the phone rang. Pop was informed that there was a change in plans and he and his co-worker were to instead head to San Jose, CA...!!!!!!!


They had to alert the highway patrol to intercept the co-worker, who finally found him and sent him west...!!!!!

A true story, and we spent the next 8 yrs. in No Cal before moving back to Texas in August of ‘76...so many twisty-turnys in so many of our lives..!!!!!
