Got it! No biggie. Iā€™m sure Daddy Walz chaperoned the kids to Vegas trip once, telling dad jokes all the way there and back. šŸ˜‰ ---

With his tiny hands? Unlikely. ---

The base Walz doll would look vaguely like something Jim Henson would design. Accessories include Runzas and McFlurry machines. ---

Tim Walz was asked a very important question today: do you prefer Sheetz or Wawa as a convenience store. He made the fine choice of not picking either and pushed Kwik Trip, his hometown chain. Thatā€™s the kind of considered decision-making I want to see in a VP. ---

He didnā€™t say Wawa? That ticket just lost my vote. ---

He also needs to be seen eating Utz chips. That will secure the PA vote. ---

ā€œTastykakeā€ happens to be a very fine made-up word. ---

Though Wawa is Pennsy based, more of them in NJ then anywhere, so goes well with Tastykake. ---

Kwik Trip HQ is in Wisconsin (La Crosse), but plenty of locations are in Minnesota. The food is actually pretty decent IMHO. Brian ---
