Fantastic letter by Jake.
Happy National Farmers Day to all the hardworking farmers across southern Minnesota!

You feed the country and the world, and you deserve elected leaders who work just as hard as you do.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
