Good Evening, Lodge!

Got sunburned a little bit today at a cemetery of all places. I love 3 day weekends because there is an extra day of drinking. Bottoms Up!

They have some big wildfires going on in Quebec and you can smell the smoke here in Maine. The smoke is making for a very unique sunset. Got some pics but my camera doesn't do it justice.

Trek Charactors regularly got laid. Hell, even Data and Spock got them some them some. Clearly, BB_DL and the Darkness are Trek Charactors. Everybody else at MTU however, are just Trekkies....

Did you ever see Montgomery Scott get laid? Exactly.

As much as the smoke sucks for air quality, it gives some amazing sunsets. Every shade from bright sky blue to deep maroon is up there.


Evening, Lodge. I'm officially tired of protests.

Can't protest the protesters while I'm on the clock, and frankly, they have some good points (even if their goal is over the top.) But, God help them if they protest our site on Memorial Day - I don't even want to think of how our visitors would react if they interrupted a tribute to soldiers, especially the veterans.

Oh that guy. I couldn't buy him as a bad guy in "Under Siege."

And I heard about the protests. I sorta get it, but history is history. Snelling did good things too.

I'm pretty sure he laid some pipe with some fine lass down in engineering. He would have all known all of the knooks and crannys of the ship would be, including a spot or two that might not have had good gravity plating.

Doesn't have anything to do with Col. Snelling, it has to do with the 1860s. Long story very short:
-several thousand years ago: (according to some Dakota people) their people are created at the junction of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers.
-1820: US gov't builds a fort at that junction.
-1837, '51: Dakota nation coerced into signing treaties with the US. They cede everything south of I-94 to the US, in exchange for money, food and training to become farmers.
-1851-62: US gov't only poorly fulfills the treaties, and traders leech off the payments that arrive to the Dakota. Dakota start getting very angry.
-1837-62: White settlers arrive and take over old Dakota hunting areas as homesteads.
-1861: Civil War starts, many soldiers leave MN to fight in the South.
-1862: Some Dakota go on the warpath. Several hundred killed on either side in SW MN (appx. Mankato to Browns Valley.) Other Dakota avoid fighting, and some even side with the settlers. HUGE rifts happen in the Dakota community. All of the Dakota are moved out of their homeland at gunpoint. Some were interned at a camp below Fort Snelling in the river bottoms, and of ~1700, 2-300 died from disease and malnourishment.

I meant the fort, sorry. I read the story on the news sites this weekend.

Oh, gotcha. And sorry for that, everyone - I shouldn't be wound up, being that I don't actually have to deal with the protesters directly. But, it hits home that I'm not just a historian, I'm right in the *ing middle of rewriting it.


As for the bad guy in Under Siege, no way could I imagine O'Brien as a bad guy. He was an engineer, but he was nailing an Asian lady (that part is for mookie ), so the comparison kinda breaks down.

I just saw a commercial for Johnsonville brats. Now I have a hankering for brats. I'm going to have to stop by a Cub and pick up a package of their store brand brats. I haven't tried anything else locally that can match them. That said, I've never walked into a Von Hansen's before.

Hyvee's brats are really good, down in IA City.

Mackenthun's in St Boni, and I think they have one other location. Von Hansen's is pretty quality for a chain, though.

Hackenmueller's in Robbinsdale is dam good too. Then again, you can get some high-quality sausage (har-dee-har), though it may not quite be bratwurst, at Kramarczuk's in Nordeast.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 113: Whutchu talkin' about, Meyer?

My wife and I have a ten thirty tee time tomorrow morning. Following our round of golf we'll head to my sister-in-law's home for drinks and dinner to cap off our holiday weekend. It's been a good one thus far. G'nite all.

Hackenmuller's is decent. Haven't had Kramarczuk's.

evening lodge. Saw two of my friends get married today. Beautiful ceremony in a Greek Orthodox fashion. I was an usher and Quiz was a bridesmaid. I looked at her and wondered seriously how lucky I am.

Also, I roped Bakunin into helping pass out programs, since the other usher was a complete useless blob. And of course, about 4 times this weekend, I said to Bakunin that I don't know what to do.

BolderBoulder tomorrow morning. 10K. Wish me luck!
