rWotD Episode 3111: Minnesota's 3rd congressional district Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 9 November 2025, is Minnesota's 3rd congressional district.Minnesota's 3rd congressional district encompasses the suburbs of Hennepin and Anoka counties to the west, south, and north of Minneapolis. The district, which is mostly suburban in character, includes a few farming communities on its far western edge and also inner-ring suburban areas on its eastern edge. The district includes the blue collar cities of Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids to the north-east, middle-income Bloomington to the south, and higher-income Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Minnetonka, and Wayzata to the west. Democrat Kelly Morrison currently represents the district in the U. S.

The largest immigrant populations in the district are concentrated in Brooklyn Park, one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Minnesota, as well as in Eden Prairie and Bloomington.The 2024 election was between Republican Tad Jude and Democrat Kelly Morrison.

Send us a textEver watch your favorite book turn into a movie and feel both seen and slightly betrayed? We dive straight into that delicious tension with Regretting You and a wave of upcoming adaptations like Verity, The Housemaid, and Reminders of Him, unpacking why certain casts nail the voice in your head while others miss the mark. From there, the conversation widens into memory itself: how All the Colors of the Dark earns its big ending by building layer after layer, and how memoirs get written from fragments, ghostwritten structure, and the artifacts we keep.Then the ground shifts. One of us is losing the family home—the place of Christmas mornings, tornado scares, daycare noise, and a deck built with a dad's hands. We talk about the ache of letting go, the sibling politics of heirlooms, and why an Oreo tin can hold more meaning than a million-dollar remodel. At the same time, we celebrate small-house joy and local pride, trading notes on Anoka's clean streets, historic houses, bookstores, and quietly excellent coffee. Practicality threads through it all: remote-work reset spots, budget beauty that doesn't insult your wallet, and how to turn “pantry panic” into resourceful cooking and smart donations.Pop culture interrupts with a jolt: a chilling Ed Gein series as actor's masterclass and cautionary tale, and a Love Is Blind season where no one says “I do.” We debate money, image, and values that only reveal themselves under everyday pressure—service staff, work hours, family habits. Finally, we get honest about addiction. Memoirs remind us dependency can grow anywhere, genetics included. Our family policy is simple and firm: if you feel unsafe, text a pin, and we'll come—no lectures, no questions, just the ride. We close with small abundance: backyard eggs with sunset-orange yolks, coffee you'll side-eye then love, and the relief of friends who show up.If this mix of story, home, pop culture, and practical care speaks to you, tap follow, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review.

Guest: Todd LaVine, Founder of Agape Pastoral Ministries (Anoka, MN) Host: Ellie Anderson, Elevated Conversations A heartfelt and truth-filled conversation on what it means to build a “'til death do us part” marriage in a world that's forgotten covenant — exploring God's design for unity, healing, and transformation within marriage.

Blois Olson is in for Jason. He's joined by friend-of-the-show Tracy Perlman for her regular visit. A new study says 1-in-4 workers haven't taken a vacation day in the last year. Do we take enough? Plus - is Anoka's title as the Halloween capitol in trouble?

Some towns in America take Halloween to the next level! Sleepy Hollow, New York, is famous for the Legend of the Headless Horseman, where spooky stories and lanterns light up the streets each October. Salem, Massachusetts, is known for the 1600s witch trials, and today it celebrates Halloween with parades, costumes, and haunted tours. Anoka, Minnesota, calls itself the “Halloween Capital of the World,” with celebrations that go back over 100 years! This video explores these special towns, their history, and why they've become the best places to experience Halloween magic and fun.

Mayor Erik Skoquist talked with Vineeta about the weekend of celebrations taking place there along with a conversation about the cities expanding "Social District!"

Meanwhile, Kelli shares her latest psychological thriller recommendations from authors Lucinda Berry and Minka Kent, though Maccoy quickly clarifies he's "not a reader."

Send us a text"What does it mean to truly feel called to serve?" Rob Bergfalk, founder of Compassion Church and Compassion Coffee in Anoka, Minnesota, answers this question through powerful action rather than mere words.When news reports in 2018 showed hundreds of people living in tent cities along Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis, something stirred deeply within Rob. As a youth pastor with 12 years of restaurant industry experience, he found himself uniquely positioned to respond. The result? A visionary model combining faith community and social enterprise to address homelessness through dignity-giving employment and skills training.Rob takes us through his three-year journey from initial calling to opening Compassion Church in 2021 near Stepping Stone Emergency Housing, a 66-bed homeless shelter. Understanding that sustainable impact requires sustainable funding, Rob and his wife Kelsey developed an innovative plan: create a coffee shop that would both employ people experiencing homelessness and generate revenue for their mission.The path wasn't immediate. They started small with a coffee cart at local events like Anoka's famous Halloween celebrations before securing their permanent location in late 2023. Today, Compassion Coffee not only serves premium beverages from award-winning Silverbird Roasting but provides comprehensive training in barista skills, customer service, budgeting, conflict resolution, and other essential life skills.What makes their approach particularly effective is the collaborative community network they've built with organizations like Hope for Youth, Family Promise, and Stepping Stone. Together, they create pathways of support for people of all ages experiencing housing insecurity."I learned that when I thought I was coming to be the hero, that's not the case," Rob shares. "If you enter with humility, you actually grow." This perspective flips the traditional charity model on its head, revealing how serving others transforms both the helper and the helped.Looking for inspiration about using business as a force for good?

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the chilling and eerie history of Anoka State Hospital in Anoka, Minnesota. Once a mental health facility, now abandoned, this institution's walls echo with tales of paranormal activity, forgotten patients, and suspicious deaths. From the mysterious Lady in White to disturbing poltergeist activity, the hospital's legacy continues to haunt investigators and locals alike.   Tony explores the disturbing history of Anoka State Hospital, delving deep into firsthand accounts, psychological theories, and the spine-chilling paranormal activity reported by those who dare to enter. Are these ghosts of the past, or something far darker?

The 2025 Indian PowerPlus lineup has arrived, and I had the opportunity to test these bikes in the stunning landscape of Lake Las Vegas and the Valley of Fire. With an upgraded 112 cubic inch PowerPlus motor, new rider-assist technologies, and refined aerodynamics, Indian has taken their motorcycles to the next level. This review will cover the engine performance, ride quality, handling, technology, and new safety features introduced in this lineup. The New 112ci PowerPlus Engine: More Power, More Fun Indian has built upon its 108ci liquid-cooled PowerPlus engine, upgrading it to a 112ci V-twin that delivers: 126 horsepower at 5,500 RPM 133 foot-pounds of torque at 3,600 RPM 60-degree V-twin configuration Overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, and dual throttle bodies Compared to the 2023 Indian Pursuit Dark Horse I tested for a year, the 2025 PowerPlus engine offers more power and better low-end torque. The real question is how this translates to real-world performance, which I explored during the test ride. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE First Impressions: Chieftain PowerPlus & Redesigned Fairing I was assigned the 2025 Indian Chieftain PowerPlus, and right away, the bike felt incredibly well-balanced. Despite its size, it was easy to manage, and the redesigned batwing fairing is noticeably sleeker and more aerodynamic. The new fairing design includes: Separated dual vents for better wind management More refined lower sections for improved airflow Wind tunnel-tested shape for high-speed stability While the sharknose fairing remains largely unchanged, the batwing updates make a real difference in handling and rider comfort. Riding Performance: How Does the 112 PowerPlus Feel? Once in the saddle, I could instantly feel the higher-revving nature of the PowerPlus engine. The torque kicks in at 3,600 RPM, pushing the rider back in the seat. This engine thrives in the higher RPM range, delivering a sporty, performance-driven feel. At 5,500 RPM, the bike produces 126 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful V-twin touring motors available. For those who prefer a more traditional low-end torque experience, Indian still offers the Thunderstroke air-cooled engine on select models. This gives buyers a choice between classic American cruising or high-performance touring. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Suspension & Braking: Inverted Forks and Radial-Mounted Brembos Suspension Upgrades Front: 43mm inverted forks with 5.1 inches of travel, offering more rigidity and precision than conventional forks Rear: Fox Monoshock with 4.5 inches of travel The inverted forks provide: Less flex under braking More precise steering feedback Better handling in aggressive riding situations Braking System Dual 320mm semi-floating rotors (front) 298mm floating rotor (rear) Brembo radial-mounted calipers Radial-mounted brakes provide better rigidity and performance compared to standard axial-mounted ones, making this a high-performance touring machine.

Innovative products for Harley-Davidson & Goldwing Affordable chrome, lighting, and comfort products Ciro 3D has a passion for design and innovation Rider Assist Features: New Innovations for 2025 Indian has introduced some of the most advanced rider-assist features on an American-made V-twin. These include: Standard Features ABS 6-axis IMU lean-angle detection with traction control and ABS. Drag torque control to prevent rear-wheel lockup on aggressive downshifts New for 2025 Hill Hold Control – Keeps the bike from rolling backward when stopped on an incline. Electronically Linked Braking – If the rider applies only the front or rear brake, the system automatically applies the other for better balance, stopping, and safety. Blind Spot Detection – Warns riders with mirror-mounted yellow LED indicators when a vehicle is in their blind spot. Rear Collision Warning – Alerts riders when a vehicle is following too closely and pulses the brake light to get the driver's attention. These safety features make a significant difference, particularly for riding in heavy traffic conditions. Comfort, Ergonomics, and Ride Quality The 2025 Chieftain PowerPlus offers a well-designed rider triangle, making it comfortable for long-haul rides. Stock seat: Well-padded with excellent lower back support Floorboards: Spacious and positioned well for comfortable leg placement Adjustable windscreen: Allows riders to set their preferred wind protection One ergonomic improvement Indian could consider is adjusting the brake pedal placement slightly forward for better foot positioning. Sponsor-Butt Buffer CLICK HERE Want to ride longer? Tired of a sore and achy ass? Then fix it with a high-quality Butt Buffer seat cushion? New Patrons: Michael Richey of Kokomo , Indiana Gary Strainer of Tampa, Florida Jorge Luna of Anoka, Minnesota If you appreciate the content we put out and want to make sure it keeps on coming your way then become a Patron too! There are benefits and there is no risk. Technology & Infotainment: Ride Command System The 7-inch Ride Command system remains largely unchanged from previous Indian models, offering: GPS Navigation Bluetooth Connectivity Apple CarPlay Customizable Ride Modes (Rain, Standard, Sport) While functional, the system could use an update. Given the premium price of these bikes, a fully digital dashboard with faster processing and a smoother interface would be a welcome upgrade. Final Thoughts: A High-Performance Touring Machine After spending an entire day riding through the Valley of Fire, I can confidently say the 2025 Indian PowerPlus lineup delivers a fun, powerful, and well-engineered riding experience. What Indian Got Right More horsepower and torque than the previous 108ci motor Sleek, aerodynamic batwing and shark nose fairing Inverted forks and radial-mounted Brembo brakes Blind spot detection and rear collision warning, a first on an American V-twin Improved heat management compared to past models Areas for Improvement Ride Command system needs an update Cable clutch should be upgraded to a hydraulic system Large radar unit on the rear could be better integrated for aesthetics Who Is This Bike For? This bike is best suited for riders who want: A powerful, high-performance touring motorcycle The latest rider assist features for safety and comfort A sporty V-twin experience with high-revving power For those who prefer a traditional low-end torque cruiser, the Thunderstroke models might be a better fit. Final Verdict: Worth It? If you are looking for a modern, high-performance bagger that retains the classic Indian motorcycle charm, the 2025 PowerPlus lineup is an excellent choice. This bike delivers an exciting riding experience, blending power, comfort, and cutting-edge technology.

My steak arrived and I hated it. It was tender to the point of being gelatinous. It was rare, not medium rare. It wasn't chewy, as steak should be. It was sort of like eating raw liver. But when the waiter came by to ask if everything was okay, I said, not wanting to be a complainer or seem unworthy of this great delicacy, “It's wonderful.” Other Midwesterners have this same problem. Hauled to the gallows to be hanged for a crime we didn't commit, asked by the hangman if the noose is too tight, we'd say, “It's just fine. Very comfortable. And if you don't mind, please don't offer me a last cigarette, I quit smoking years ago.” Self-advocacy was not taught in the Anoka, Minnesota, public schools back in my day. We were taught to be grateful for what we had.I paid for the dinner, a sum of money I associate with first-class round-trip airfare between New York and L.A., and I went home, fell into bed, woke around 3 a.m. feeling an urgent need for Alka-Seltzer. I took two tablets, which helped. Around six, I took two more. I felt queasy most of Monday, was okay by Tuesday. This is a public episode.
