[Mpls] Re: tubing Minnehaha

Surely our mayor understands that the great majority of posters to this 
list could not consider indulging in such frivolous activity unless, of 
course, there are waterproof copies of the Macnkensie report available. 
Please advise; and get back to work!

Jon Gorder's tongue was firmly in cheek, no doubt, but just in case...surely everyone 
realizes that even Hizzoner has to rest and reconnect with his family ever so often. 
And we are probably all better served by public servants who value beautiful places 
and healthy families (including their own)within our own city. 

Families of public servants pay a high price for the contributions of their loved 
ones. Let's not grudge RT et al a little fun together.

I agree wholeheartedly with Ann on this one.  R.T.
gives an extraordinary amount of his life to being the
mayor. So does the city council. Let's not begrudge
our elected officials the right to enjoy their
families, friends and the fair city they represents. A
good balance between work and home makes them better
people. 

I think part of the mayors job is to be an ambassador
and to market and advertise all that is good in
Minneapolis.   Encouraging people to tube down
Minnehaha creek is one more way of doing that. 

While you're tubing, you can stop at Lake Nokomis and
get an ice cream cone at the Dairy Queen near by, or
you can capture golf balls from the creek while you
are going through the Hiawatha golf course.  

Just watch your rear end on those reeds and make sure
you get out of the creek before Minnehaha Falls.
