• Thanks for the help for my youngest son who's in St. Paul Nick, he had a GREAT time at "Bills" I'm pretty sure that he's going back before he goes home next Tuesday.
  On his first trip to America he's enjoying fine U.S hospitably, great food and has seen snow

• I wish I could have joined him at Bill's! I think you need to let everyone know what fun he had there 
  
  Too bad he's only here for the ugly/dirty melting snow.

  This is from a few days ago - Mickeys Diner

• Both sons are 'A' Grade IPSC shooters and compete often.
  
  Nick sent through directions and all the details for Bills Gun Shop, Tom went from Sydney to L.A. to St Paul Minnesota, checked in and then straight to Bills by Uber   -

  You'll have to tell him it was about -40 or worse just a couple months ago 
  
  Did he have to buy warmer clothes for the trip?

  Thanks Bruce, he saw a US basketball game yesterday and he flys out to L.A soon (your time) he's hoping there's enough time for bus tour before getting his flight to Sydney.

  No Chris, it was a weeks plumbing conference.
  
  
  In all places in the world it just happened to be in St. Paul, Minneapolis.
