November 14, 2008 Minnesota
Went to MN this week to work with Mr Curt Mondale; a second generation manufacturers representative with a new method of doing business. Here he walks into a conference room.....
............and sits down and takes over!

It was a lot of fun working with Curt, Bryan and Herb. They are one of our better agencies. It was a little icy and some sleet Tuesday morning, and lots of rock'm sock'm activity on the Interstate. I was glad to get into a hotel that night. I left my coat in Curt's car and wasn't up to sprinting to the Mall of America Wednesday night.
Speaking of cars, Curt drives a Prius. I was impressed by the roominess and efficiency. The video below gauges performance as the vehicle shifts between gasoline engine and electric motor. In the past reps were accustomed to the biggest and the best in vehicles; I believe Curt is our first "green" rep .

Off to San Diego in the morning; I'll try to take some good shots out there.

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
