My auntie Marlene. She passed weeks ago but the service was today. The picture boards, gets me every time. I was the baby of the entire extended family for 17 years, and she was the only one outside of my parents (sometimes the only one at all) that would stand up for me.
I was a meek kid that just rolled with the punches, and of course looking back the ribbing was trivial and what nearly every child encounters. But I vividly remember her going to bat for me regardless.
I never acknowledged it. Never said thank you. I’m sick about it.
These things matter. If you’re and aunt or uncle and think these kids aren’t paying attention, you’re wrong. You matter.

I never actually read what was painted on that thing, nor did I ever look into the company behind it. Now I know, and an iconic landmark is no more.

Minnie Mapco. A bikini-clad mannequin in a convertible with PSALM 46:10 emblazoned on the sides. All on top of a huge pole so you could see it from I94 in North MPLS.
