Victory, like fortune, favors the bold – and in this remote northern outpost, I find myself intrigued by the peculiar customs of chance and revelry. The establishment known as Blue Rider has devised a clever stratagem: citizens wagering mere moments of their time on these “pull tabs,” not unlike the calculated risks I once took on grander fields. A beer and Fernet for seven dollars? A tactical masterpiece of economy.
The local merchants demonstrate admirable commercial acumen. At Budget Music & Video, a mere utterance of “Savor Minot” reduces prices by one-tenth – a diplomatic strategy I myself might have employed in more delicate negotiations.
But it is the illuminated display at Oak Park that truly captures my attention. For five francs per carriage, one may witness a spectacle of lights – a demonstration of power and beauty that reminds me of Paris in her glory. Though perhaps not quite as magnificent as my beloved City of Light, it serves its purpose in lifting the spirits of the populace during these dark winter evenings.
Got a guess at today’s celebrity writer? It’s French Emperor and military commander Napoleon Bonaparte
