Maybe the Nazi tanks should have had similar gears. I remember hearing on shortwave a Nazi propaganda broadcast when the Russians were starting to win, that German forces were "advancing to the rear."

Sadly, my daily trudge was back and forth from the Hyatt Regency on Nicolett Mall to the Convention Center. There are some nice restaurants on the mall and I did spend one day at the Mall of America, which has to be seen to be believed.

My daughter took me there on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend a couple of years ago. I was almost knocked flat by the noise when we opened the doors.
