That would have made it a non-starter! I had to think whether I really wanted to help them claim the history they stole along with my team, but I'm glad I went. They were all "Minnesota Nice," as you see on signs everywhere, and I did feel some healing for my 65 year PTSD from when they took off from D.C.
