I’ve followed Andrew Sidel for years and am always impressed by him. His books are great too.

I’d rewrite It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis.

I know it’s not a meme, per se, but I died while watching this. (I may be back later as a Romulan though playing my own child from an alternate universe).

As a Minnesotan, I don’t speak Down about Iowa as it’s Beneath me, but South Dakota just Isn’t Right. And I say that as someone who has quite a few family still Left there. WE STill visit regularly but, only just across the border.

Without having any more specific information (which you need not share) Duluth is a fairly large city for Minnesota, unless you have a specific specialist need or some insurance need, you should be able to find the care you need for most common needs and have a good number of providers to find a professional that meets your care needs. At a worst case scenario, both the twin cities and Rochester (Mayo Clinic) are about 3 hours away, and that should exhaust even the most rare specialists.

I was told it’s not about the size of the disk but how it’s used that really matters.

I have a few quibbles, but otherwise it’s a pretty solid list:

• The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams
• The Justice of Kings by Richard Swan
• The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne
• Of Blood and Fire by Ryan Cahill
• Malice by John Gwynne
• Illborn by Daniel T. Jackson
• Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb
• A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie
• Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
• The Way of Kings by Brian Sanderson
• Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
• Jade City by Fonda Lee
• Eye of the World by Robert Jordan
• The Gunslinger by Stephen King

Kraken Kampaign…. That’s one letter short of being a bit concerning…
