A steady rain set in at mid-morning today in the Twin Cities as a cold front passed through. Monday’s highs in the 90s were expected to be replaced today and Wednesday by temperatures that stay in the low 70s.

To avoid the rain and the doldrums of a still up-in-the-air convention schedule, this blogger has joined a small group of Arkansans on a cab ride to downtown Minneapolis for an event called Civic Fest.  It is described as a festival honoring Minnesota and U.S. history.

It’s a good thing five people are sharing a taxi. Cab prices are steep in the Twin Cities: a $2.50 flag drop and $2.35 every mile. Right now the fare is $20.36…rather $20.83…oops, $21.30…

… and there’s probably another five miles to go.

Maybe the boss will swing by Western Union.
