Well put, trailbossmom.

Maybe he didn't WANT to be found. If that was the case, then he could have tried to evade search teams, if he saw them coming.

dj8887, I realize that this WAS Indian land, and that what was done to them was horrible. However - the area we live in now is not a reservation, so we cannot put a casino here.

We would either have to give the land back or change the laws regarding gambling in Minnesota.

lefty - From the article: "Of the 19 motorists killed, eight were unbelted."

Which means 11 of them (57.8%) WERE belted.

Perhaps he violated probation and then was sentenced for an earlier charge. That happens from time to time.

Freeborn County isn't on Indian land, and therefore cannot have a casino. We can't place the blame on our leaders for something against the laws of our state.

Beautiful shot, Dustin. This is the kind of art you see in a gallery. Nice capture!

Wildbill -

If you order from somewhere that doesn't have a store in Minnesota (or whatever state you are shopping from), you typically don't have to pay taxes for an online purchase. I ordered a computer from the Apple store online, and had to pay taxes - they do have stores in Minnesota. As far as shipping/handling goes - sometimes that can be more than what the taxes would be.

One year I did all of my shopping online - and was done in under an hour. Not sure what I'll do this year - I usually go out of town, but not to a neighboring county - usually Mankato or Rochester.

How about thanking or even recognizing the veterans if you're at the VA CLINIC ON VETERANS DAY!?

Thanks skills.

I always wondered what happened to the old signs for that place.

I was only ever in there once, some time around 1979 or 1980, on my way home from the library. I wanted to buy a treat that was something different then Merrill's popcorn, where I usually stopped. I remember buying a cake donut. The waitress asked if I wanted a pop and I told her "No thanks, I only have enough for the donut." She gave me a pop on the house anyway, so I gave her whatever my change was as a tip.

That said, I am interested in trying this place when it opens. I don't think I've ever been to a Tex-Mex place before, so this should be interesting.
