Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

So, I just finished watching Clinton's speech from the DNC. Why do I suddenly crave a cigar? :p

Talking with my buddy in IA City, and apparently the Secret Service booked about a floor and half of his hotel. They took out all the furniture, converted the rooms to offices, cables everywhere. He said he only saw one room, and it was filled with racks of assault rifles and such.

That's kinda cool, if you ask me. It'll be interesting to see how the hotel is that day (yes my buddy is working that day).
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

An interesting evening tonight. Probably about a quarter mile from my driveway some idiot went off into a ditch and flipped his car, busted himself up pretty good probably about a minute before I went by tonight. I stopped to help out where I could. Not sure what was the cause of it, but we didn't really see any clear break marks in the grass in the ditch before he hit the driveway embankment that sent him *** over teakettles. I believe they shipped him up to the U of M hospital, where the plastic surgeon on staff tonight is going to have a hell of a time putting his scalp back on his head tonight. And the dangest thing was that car came to rest about 2 feet away from an old tractor that's been for sale for a while. the guy who's yard the car landed in was happy about that because it wasn't his tractor. Car had to have been airbourne a good 30 feet or so before it hit on the roof, rolled over and landed wheels down.

Well, there was a bottle of rum sitting in the front seat from where he spilled out of the car. Local cop picked it up and said that the seal hadn't been broken and there was a brown paper bag in the car, so he could have just picked it up. But who knows what else the guy had been doing earlier. Didn't really even see obvious breaking makers in the grass leading up to that driveway embankment either. You would think even with Anti-lock breaks you would see where it would dig in a little bit, not just look like it just kept on going. Somebody also said something about their being a phone in the car as well, texting perhaps. With the head wound he had going on, and lord knows what else, as none of the first people on the scene there are sure that he even had his seat belt on, he wasn't in the greatest shape to explain what had happen. I'm sure they ran a BAC test on him tonight, and I'll hear about it in the Telegram sometime soon here.

Good Morning, MEUSA! :)


Good Morning to the rest of tLodge !:)


After three days of predicted rain the just about didn't happen (a short shower yesterday), there is no rain in today's forecat. I will probably get soaked. :(
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

Morning Lodge.

Ralph, feel free to send any unwanted rain to the Midwest. The "Laughing Waters" (i.e. Minnehaha Creek) are basically dry, no water over the falls right now. And I hope bb is going to hose down the yard before any bonfires or we'll all be reading about Anoka County wildfires again.

ETA: Especially if Brent gets into the Everclear again. ;)

Giada is on NBC's Today right now. She's fondling a chicken inappropriately.

The yard is dry, but back where I have the fires is next to the swamp, it was still very green back there last weekend.

Good morning. 1/2 way through my first week off. :)

The boss & I leave Friday for Beantown and New England (happy 20th anniversary to us!) so of course there is a Hurricane spinning off the coast. :mad: I need opposite girl to pray for rain. ;) Also, the Beanpot trophy is part of the Freedom Trail, right? :D

I worked in one of the buildings W visited when he took a tour of mother mining a few years ago. Two days of prep for the secret service for just one building which is not open to the public. Pretty cool to see. Only difference for most of us were parts of the building off-limits and we could not enter or leave the building while the President was in our building or in transport to/from our building.

The rumors they had one agent assigned to watching me is unfounded :D but I was a more than a little POed W didn't come up to say hey as I wanted to ask him just how much dam brush he has on his ranch. :D
