A couple hours east of Minneapolis is the world’s largest ball of twine.  I was driving past it recently, and had to stop and have a look. It was massive and awe-striking. It made me proud to be a part of the human race.  Sadly, 20 years of sitting untended doesn’t do wonders for a twine ball, and its edges have started to sag, making it more lump than ball.  I think it’s time for a new and better twine ball.   When, I wonder, will the younger generations be shamed into action? When will a newer and bigger creation arise from the prairies?  Gen X?  Gen Y?  Gen Z?  I ask:  Where are your twine balls?  The future is now.  Start winding.
