  • I had a flat tire (no spare) situation while driving through Minnesota in the mid 90s. I was on a rural state rd and had to hike about a 1/4 mile back to the last house I’d passed. I knocked hoping to use a phone for a tow truck. Ladie answered the door with two babies on her hip and about 6-8 other little ones (walker types) surrounding her. I explained my situation and she handed me the keys to her only car, told me about a town 8 miles one way and a bigger one 9 miles the other way. That kindness wrapped up in under 5 minutes from the knock to me pulling out of her driveway in her car. I’ve never been back to Minnesota but that one experience has left the impression that Minnesota contains the best Americans that America has to offer.
