Nice read. I’m also excited about the new state flag. Definitely will buy one.

I'm planning a trip to Rochester to buy one from the man who originally spearheaded this initiative.

Nice! Taking passengers? We could see if Mayo is still running that AV shuttle too

Sounds like quite the road trip!

This is a beautiful defense of the new flag, without the argumentativeness and condescension which has crept into my (unpublished) attempts to justify the new design.

Thanks Kevin! That was my intent.

The accent...

I'll always remember having a substitute teacher from out of state. She mentioned our Minnesota accents, and I was floored. What accent? People from the south have accents, not us! Ope!

I remember something similar. Right now, there are certain words that even I recognize I pronounce with a heavy accent.
