Gas Prices

Gas Prices have gotten up once again.  $3.69 in Lakeville, and $3.72 in Minneapolis.  Amazing.

Yes, it's called SNOW

There's snow coming down tonight at our home. Amazing. I wish it would snow 15 inches tonight!!!!

For real?

I am not a professional when it comes to anything surrounding public relations, but I am just going to guess that this picutre isn't what Hillary Clinton wanted on the front cover of anything-it was on the front of the Startribune this morning.  When I saw this in the live paper and also on-line, I asked, "For real" someone thought that was a good picture to put in a public newspaper that people read? 

Driving down 28th Avenue the wrong way

I am at The BEAT COFFEE HOUSE again today, working on stuff. I sit here in what is now considered, "Twon's Seat" by many.  I love this same place (Twon's Seat) because I can watch who walks in, who walks by and watch 28th Avenue. It's funny.  28th Avenue is a one way.  About every 3 days or so, I see people driving the wrong down the one way.  It's crazy to watch.  People don't turn around either, they just go to the light and then start driving the correct way.

Today's a great day outside. The doors to the BEAT Coffee House are open and the wind is blowing in as I am sitting here working on stuff.  I am listening to the Jared Allen Interview on KFAN and it's amazing how people say the right things, at the right time. Maybe this sign and trade will pay off-I am not convinced of it. I am always amazed at how much teams will give up for a player. Much has been talked about his "off the field" issues.  I believe that those issues are in the past and hopefully he can remain on the team and help us win games.

There are very few things that I read each day.  Each day, I read the Bible (usually on-line), Beth's Blog, Sid's comments on Startribune.com, even though I am not a huge SID fan, Flyertalk, and Shooter's comments in the St. Paul Newspaper-I love Charley Walters, but I have to poke fun of a him a little-today he said the following, "One longtime Twins fan is willing to bet that, at season's end, Twins rookie pitcher Nick Blackburn wil have a lower earned-run average than ex-Twins starter Johan Santana of the New York Mets."  So, we're now printing comments or opinions by just any regular Twins Fan? Don't you think this LONGTIME TWINS FAN, should be named or something to bring creditbility to this comment?  I personally think this fan is wrong. I'll take the best pitcher in baseball over the last 5 years over a guy named BLACKBURN, who looks 12 by the way, any day. I just laugh at this.  Go Shooter!!!!

One last thing-The MN Timberwolves are doing a thing called, "Pay The Pick"-meaning if the Wolves get the #1 pick in June's draft, season tickets cost $1 each, if they get the second pick you pay, $2 a ticket-you get the point.  Needless to say these tickets are not courtside.  Wow, how far have the Wolves come to basically give away tickets.

Enjoy your day today-no matter what you do-just don't drive down the street the wrong way. 

Direct TV

It's raining outside, so of course my Direct TV is basically out.

Want to work here?

I've had several jobs in my 31 years of living.  My first job was working for the City of Coon Rapids, and we'd pull weeds near the old Coon Rapids Damn and Sand Creek Park.  I made $2.00 an hour.  We all wore red shirts and I often (maybe weekly) think about where that shirt ended up.

I've worked for several different managers in my day too.  Some have been GREAT and others, not so great.  Some would yell and swear at us if we didn't do things correctly. I've also had the chance to manage employees.  Sometimes managing high school students (in retail) can be a very difficult thing to do as their friends wander in and throw eggs from the egg section at each other.  So, I've had some harsh managers and at times, wanted to be a harsh manager as well.

However, none of them used water boarding as a means to teach their employees a lesson. That's right, I said, "WATER BOARDING."

No matter what your thoughts are about the war in Iraq and what we should or shouldn't do to POWs, I think we can all agree that Water Boarding isn't the best practice in the workplace-no matter what you did wrong or right at work and no matter where you work.  So when I read this story, I was amazed.  I actually heard either Dan or Chad talk about this yesterday on KFAN (which for the record is the world's greatest radio station).  Of course this took place in Provo, Utah. Only in Provo...and oh yea, only in the U.S. military and third-world nations does this happen.  Yet, one more reason not to live in Provo, Utah.

Anyways, I hope you have a great day at your job today.  Just remember, if you don't get things done right or on time, you too, could end up having water poured on your face!

Ed Roski and the MN Vikings

This is great.  Ed Roski wants to bring Pro Football to LA.  The seats are purple!!!!! How funny is this???!!!! Check out this design of the new stadium. Now he just needs to find a team to move to LA!!!!

Blog about a blog

I have a good blog coming. That's right, I am blogging about a future blog.

It's Windy

It's Windy outside.  I came home for a while today and found that my neighbors gutters and trash covered my back yard.  I picked up what I could, but trash is still blowing everywhere.
