So I finally made it. Man, how I’ve waited for this stage in life.
Rural Reflections
I miss magazines. I miss the glossy pictures, regular columns, and excellent writing. Magazines also string a nostalgic chord with me as they were a portal to the world when I was growing up.The internet has made information on any interest available immediately. I enjoy the immediacy however this access means you often must question the validity of the information. Reading on the internet also takes away the sense of occasion brought about by the arrival of the magazine or the physical experience of turning the pages.
'Ask a Trooper'
Question: A friend recently told me that it’s illegal to honk your car horn in Minnesota (he showed me an internet article). I find this hard to believe. So many friends and family members drive by our house, giving their horn a little honk and waving; is this illegal? What if you’re behind someone at a stoplight who hasn’t noticed the light turned green—is it illegal to tap your horn to alert them? And what about those car alarms that start honking if they sense an intruder? Please explain. Thank you.
