I know people who live at The Crossings. Very lovely view of downtown and the river.

We have wonderful weather here! Fantastic variety! Something for everyone! Never dull and boring!
What more could you possibly want?

(25,348 posts)6. Well, (I'm smiling)...I've never shot up heroin but let me say, if anybody truly wants to know how..
... it feels, go to Minneapolis in late January, drive down a street, see the cross-street light change to red, gently apply your brake...feel all 4 tires grab the road like somebody poured 50 gallons of oil on them...sense that your car might-very-well hit that new 80,000 dollar Mercedes Benz that's in front of you...THAT'S what a shot of heroin feels like.

Besides, that's not weather, that's just driving skills. Alls ya need is a bit of practice.
