Lapchik's '25 GT

[Lapchik]

Another quick after work ride. This was the last of my sub 200 mi after work rides, but at least it cracked 60° today. Just in time for the manure and ammonia knifed into the fields to really ripen the wind, and bring out the bugs. I got exactly one ride in decent weather this year before all the bugs came out.

Today I headed across "Amish" country to Little falls. Amish is a bit of a misnomer, as most of them are Mennonite. Most people don't know the difference between Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite so it just saves time to use the blanket term of Amish. Not that my writing style saves time. Also, eggs are still only two or three dollars per dozen from them. About half what the local grocery store is at. There were several fields today being plowed the old-fashioned way, and one field on the way back was being tilled by the largest horse I have ever seen in my life. These people aren't fond of having their picture taken with the graven images commandment and all, so I don't have a picture for you.

Donna's and this cafe around the corner were both closed, so no food review. It is just down the street from the Minnesota fishing Hall of Fame if you care to visit.



This one in Lastrup, by some amazing feat of technological resistance, chooses not to take cards. So another strikeout on food reviews. I very rarely carry cash (unless I'm on a multi-day trip) because it is so rare to find a place nowadays that doesn't take a card.



The Last GT today was in Genoa, which in my mind sounds like some sort of Michael Jackson noise. Cha-know-ah, Gen-oh-ah. Heehee. I don't know, maybe I have one too many concussions.
