(Might have had something to do with a rain-slicked Pierson Road and the bald tires on Lewis's Impala, I dunno.) In truth, I don't think the Cabela's is a terribly bad idea. And you're right, $15 million isn't a whole lot of state money to invest in potential jobs. It should be considered. But if the big motivation is just to make something positive happen, well, I have a little story called "Six Flags Autoworld" I'd like to tell folks....

I hate to admit it, but I was younger than you were when we went and I did not have my parents permission. The movie was funny and it did influence my opinion of frats (which was confirmed by my first frat party - TKE's freshman year). However, Cabela's is a opportunity for jobs in an area struggling to make something positive happen. While M$15 is pricey, this could help create job momentum which is what we need right now.
