More crazy MN history... Mankato almost went to war with New Ulm over the Christmas lynching of two Katoites for rudeness, apparently:

That sounds a lot like the recent murder acquittal of the kids from Cambridge who stabbed the Wisconsinite up by Osceola.
Never liked New Ulm. Always found people to be uptight and judgmental. This just confirms that notion.
I don't believe it. Give me one example of a bunch of Germans that are uptight and judgmental.
Heh.
Driving back from a race this morning, we got a glimpse of the construction of the new stadium in Hartford.
The team will be christened the Yard Goats (a Rockies affiliate) once they relocate from New Britain.
That's a solid team name.
Well, we survived NYE in Vegas. The boys wanted to watch the fireworks, so we stayed away from all the crazies on the Strip. Our hotel was on the next street over, so we stood in the parking lot and watched the fireworks being shot off the roofs of Planet Hollywood in one direction and the MGM Grand in another. It was plenty cold for us (in the 30s), so we were bundled up and drinking hot chocolate. The fireworks shook our lot so hard, several car alarms went off.
Weirdest NYE ever. I stayed home with a sick kid, only for him to give me his illness.
By 8:00, I had a 102.7 temp. We went to bed by 10. First time we haven't stayed up for midnight in years.
That's funny because last night was the first time in years we did make it past midnight. A neighbor couple came over with their four year old and one year old. All four kids also made it, and some how did it without getting cranky. Made it a lot easier to get them down for a nap today, which let me watch Ant-Man (super entertaining and easily the funniest Marvel movie.)
(Then again, the ease of dealing with the kids today might actually have been because my wife was gone all day, to be completely honest.)
Also, the neighbor brought over some beer, most of which was hacker-pschorr Weiss. There was one bottle of shock top white in there and I was amazed at how what was described as a belgian-style white ale with some spices could taste pretty much identical to regular Budweiser.
Dr. Chop and I left the mother land at 10 am (640 am shuttle from peterville) and drove straight to the Mississippi Louisiana boarder to hang out at a fish camp on the pearl river. I stayed up drinking with my brothers until 3am the night before, and still made it to 1 am the first of the year. #imtoooldforthisshit
You've had some pretty ordinary NYEs, it seems. I once shaved my head outside of a little curl in front so I could be the New Year's Baby, and a dude who didn't realize I was joking about it paid me $100 to shave it off. I suppose he had the last laugh, as I spent it all on beer.
Mad chipotle lime shrimp tacos with a chipotle crema made. Unfortunately for my wife, I was adjusting the crema to my own personal tastes. It was funny watching her struggle with them while I got just a slight heat.
