I have never been SO PROUD to be a MINNESOTAN, and also SO ASHAMED to be an AMERICAN in my life.

I'll tell you about some of my simple dreams. I wish I could take a hot shower instead of having water poured all over me. I wish I had a door for my room. I wish I had a wardrobe instead of leaving my clothes on the floor. I wish I had a normal window.
