Huh?  I drove from the West Bank (Minneapolis for you non-Minnesotans) to
Duluth last Thursday in snow, freezing rain, and icy roads in 3 hours,
with a stop in Forest Lake for dinner, and getting caught behind 3
sanders/plows between Cloquet and Duluth.  A normal trip would be 2.25 to
2.5 hours.  On a luxury bus, that wouldn't be a bad ride for a Saturday
morning.  I think that a home and home with Duluth could be a good
thing.  But... I don't personally like home and homes, I would rather go
to the two hockey games right in a row, but that's a personal opinion.
