Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper, who grew up in the shadow of Minnesota, was going for the record in grudge holding against the gopher state over the Minneapolis student nurse who threw him over for a medical intern as the keeper was heroically going off to war but has decided to abandon his plans for the following reasons.
*Having lived a wonderful fulfilling life now topped with Phyllis as a loving companion.
*Precious family members—the Larry and Linda clan, living good lives in Minnesota.
*Army basic training in Alabama under a reactivated Minnesota National Guard unit from New Ulm, Mn. with a shouting Corporal Dormier leading close-order drill.
*Gov. Tim Walz reminding the keeper of the great Wisconsin uncles of his youth.
So, Minnesota, you are off the grudge hook, and the keeper hopes the student nurse had a good life with her doctor husband and that they had a dozen or so little gophers.
