The first time I was in the twin cities visiting the former poster
named Damsel, we were sitting at a light and it changed to green.
Horns started blowing and several cars ignored the red light. Damsel
told me about Minnesota drivers. <GASP!> It seems they can't see the
stop lights because they're in a rush to get home to make a hot dish
for supper.

The ironic part is when Dams and Crash were here, we took a cab in
downtown Chicago. They were scared shitless. I was LMAO. The
driver was more aggressive than most, but we were safer than driving
in the twin cities with people who can't see stop light colors.
These "people" went through the lights without even looking to the
sides.
