consideration at all. One would be completely justified in ignoring
her.

Would she accept a theory that a famous professor in Denmark has
assured us that he was told by an Austrian monk that a solid anatase
runestone (formed at 800°C from an Alpine sand on a Viking-brand stove
in Minneapolis) is a doorstop at the Yale Beinecke Library and when it
was used to block open the doors the dust from this stone wafted into
the air and landed on the Vinland Map? Maybe she would! After all it
makes as much sense as some of her stories.


She does not understand 'Minneapolis.' If you want her to understand you, call it 'Twin City.' Do not, under any circumstances, call it 'the Twin Cities.' While I was born there, have a son who lives there now, and grew up within 70 miles of it, if Johansson says it's 'Twin City,' 'Twin City' it is.
