A few years back I convinced the fry line manager to let me do my Surly work remotely. They were nice enough to make it seem like I was getting the good end of that deal - though I'm pretty sure some big high fives were slapped after my U-Haul tottered away. Since that time I have called a little town called Decorah, Iowa my home. It's a pretty nice place: 2.5 hours from Surly HQ in Minneapolis, er... *cough* Bloomington *cough*, an hour from the nearest four lane highway, and filled with more Norman Rockwell than you can shake…
