This has been a tough week in Minneapolis/St. Paul. We were heading into the third full week of testimony in the trail of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police officer accused of murdering George Floyd, and then on Sunday another tragedy struck the city. Daunte Wright was murdered by Brooklyn Center police on what can only be described as a racial profiling traffic stop which ended in horror as the officer seems to have confused her service weapon for her taser, a mistake which is frankly hard to believe.
And we are in the middle of other wave of the CoronaVirus, this time mostly caused by people going on reckless Spring Break trips and kid's sports, which have become super spreader events in the state of Minnesota.
...(deep breath in, deep breath out)...
We start tonight with Julie Nolke, a Canadian (she says "eh" a lot!). She's a very funny actress and comedian with her own You Tube channel. She came across gold with her 'Explaining to Her Past Self' series, little vignettes on how her future self is trying to educate her past self. I really liked her explaining the pandemic to herself, one year later.
This was a smile I needed this week.
