the new american

i was struck by several things in this article- not the least being the last paragraph that describes a hectic life in minnesota. i guess i never realized that life was hectic in minnesota- as i know little about that state- other than it's cold in winter and snows alot. i learned a bit. another thing that i was struck by was this- rvs get something like 5-6 mpg of gas and these are luxery machines. the fact that the number of rv sales is on the rise in the middle of rising gas prices- well, let's just say that we have no reason to bitch if so many of us can afford to have rvs.
