It's been 22 days since I attended what the COVID doomsday crowd would call a "super spreader" event. It was a pro-freedom rally in Albany, Minnesota, in support of the owner of Shady's Bar and Grill.
Monday, May 18...22 days ago, hundreds of people of all ages gathered in downtown Albany. I've reached out to many who were there, and guess what? We're all fine. We're not dying. We're not sick.
We all had a blast visiting, talking and socializing. We all left Albany that day feeling boosted. Feeling good. Feeling hopeful for the future.
Here's a video clip I shot before leaving for home that afternoon:
We need more of that.
Unfortunately, in Minnesota we have a Governor who sees fit to micro-manage the activities on a baseball or softball field in rural Minnesota - while thousands of protesters march close together for hours on end in the street.
Both are legal, outdoor activities - but Walz is aloof and clueless. His attitude seems to be, "I am a clown. Don't take me seriously."

Shady's Bar in Albany continues with take-out only
I spoke in person with Shady's Bar owner Kris Schiffler in Albany this afternoon.
He had a huge crowd of supporters gathered at his bar location in downtown Albany. At the last minute, at the behest of his attorney, they are continuing with just take-out orders. They did not open to in-person dining.
The crowd was enormous, and everyone was extremely happy. It was the happiest scene I have been around since March 12, when I took in a basketball game at the Minnesota state tournament in Minneapolis.
Here's video from downtown Albany today:
As it turns out, Attorney General Keith Ellison was premature in filing his restraining order. He did not even consult with Schiffler's attorney before filing it, which is usually standard procedure (think of it as good sportsmanship).
Schiffler and his attorney are working on their next move. This is far from over.
