Look away from that orange truck and pay attention — Puff’n'sip is back ON in the cold city of Minnie. 

Thursday, January 25 4:30 PM – SoleraAnd more — this is a special Puff’n'sip. Bring a non-perishable food item or 10 (most likely preserved by salt), for Second Harvest Food Shelf — they’re in need… It makes us feel better about our celebration. Salt in the wound from December’s Puff’n'Sip.

NaCl

Just as the new fallen snow has masked our beaten paths, the big orange MNDOT trucks speed past pelting Minneapolis’ main traffic arteries with those magical melting granules…one can not overlook the magic and essence of salt.

Its on our roadways. It has powdered our cars.
It seasons our food.
It makes our water potable. It makes our cocktail drinkable.
It keeps us from falling on our asssssss 1/25/07 comes to a prime, we call you out. Salute your MNDOT salt truck and tax money to good use. Bring a non-perishable food item or 10 for the local food shelf. And don’t drink the water.

details to come (thanks hasBen & JK).

Yours,
NorthStar

Seriously, last night we figured it out — It has been 100 Puff’n'sip’s to date! One hundred! Sweet. Thanks, AK, for counting.

Lotsa love,

Big Red
