An epic saga that will not have any eggs in it or characters named Malorie.
Truth, although the inspiration did initially include seven eggs and a Malorie. We are hoping to cast Margot Robbie or Isla Fisher as the girl not named Marlorie. And we are going to let her go with their real accents because we totally dig those accents.
Edit: Oh, man, what if we can get both Margot Robbie AND Isla Fisher.
A couple years ago, while driving through the twin cities, a car was merging into Hwy 494(?) and we had nowhere to go. Finally he slammed on his brakes and got in behind us (are there no yield signs in MN?), then immediately pulled beside us a flipped us off, like we were at fault. Then he got in front of us and slowed down and motioned like he wanted to fight us. We held a phone up like we were filming the incident, then he drove off. On the return trip through, some lady merged onto the highway and almost hit us (are there no yield signs in MN?).
Daughters car in the shop, so wife moved to suburban and daughter takes wife’s work car. One less vehicle means I get to park in the driveway and not a block away since vehicles will fit without being on the street. Realized today that they can’t see over my pickups if I have one parked in the driveway and they are backing up. Well, back to walking a block again until summer.

That's fun. I'll go deep into the paranoia well and call it anti-Christian propaganda since the NT was in Greek. I reached some, but it was worth it!
There is weird thing during rush hour in the Twin Cities. Some on ramps during rush hour seem to have a culture of letting people in at almost every other car. A similar ramp elsewhere at the same time will have people not giving an inch to ANYONE. It's really weird. Merged every morning for years off of Hwy 55 onto I-94 and people always essentially shared the right of way.
One of the TV station's evening news did a special segment on merging a couple of years ago since Minnesotans appear to be incapable of grasping the concept.
Ever thought about how many people you know well enough to have a solid opinion of them? Guessing in the town you live, maybe a couple hundred.
Talked to guy at Casey’s intown and realized I know very few even having lived here close to 20 years.

Agree. 610 onto 252 is always backed up and people are always alternating. There are also those asshats who wait for the cars in front of them to merge and then zoom down the narrowing merging lane because their time is more important than everyone else's.
Too many clover leafs with the traffic having to cross itself when you have two busy highways intersecting. Rush hour merging I-394/Hwy 100 or I-394/Hwy 169 requires a combination of highway ballet and race car driver skills. It only takes one person not accelerating or another racing ahead and crossing in front of someone accelerating to **** it up.
7 eggs for Mallory? Is that someone with 7 chicken eggs (probably ostrich if Australia) or like an octomom version of knocked up?
