I decided that a little jaunt to that other city (Minneapolis) would be fun so I went to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, a museum that never ceases to delight me. On the front lawn several tepees are erected, facsimiles of the kind used by the Indians of the Plains and Great Lakes regions. If these moveable conical shapes could provide housing and shelter for the Native Americans during our too-often-brutal winters, I guess I should have no complaints this year. How's that for a little bit or rationalizing?!
