me2

scruffy...

Sammich Joe! aaaahhhhh ;)

 

aaaaaaaahhhhhh something soothing- I see a bubble bath in my future 

Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right
You can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never-never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right
You can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me

Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

[Instrumental Interlude]

Well it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right
you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

I sometimes go up -but after a few beers and a sappy tune -that I cannot sing in tune-isnt that at least 1/2 the fun? ;)

There are some really serious Karoke singers there!  They bring portfolios of their music.  I've hung out there during some wedding receptions at that place.

Look what's coming up....oh How I soooo want to play!!!!

I can almost taste it......

:)

Not really.  The one and only time I ever got up to Karoke I meant to sing End of the World and made a mistake and picked You Don't Own Me!   Part of the lyric to YDOM is "I'm young, and I love to be young" and I was over 50 years old at the time.  hehe

better not do it!!!

 

That sounds like fun to me!  Do you sing Me2?

hehe.  I agree.  I just found out that we're going snowmobiling fri-sun, so I can't make it.  I'm up for any OTHER Friday night tho.  :)

OT, you sing?

Hehe.  Both are good songs though.  I used to sing EOTW too.  Maybe we could drop a tear in our beer and sing it together someday...

 

 

ooooooohhhhh Jack! ;)

mmmmmmmmmm

do you even know Jack?

I don't know Jack!

mmmmmmmmmm, I know Jack ;)

when did I get the nickname JACK?

You don't know Jack Squat?

I know Jack and thats all that matters ;)

...looking on my Driver's License....doesn't say JACK...

:(

speaking of license ... I got my new one in the mail the other day. First off I was bumbed cause I wore a WHITE shirt on purpose - I wanted to look fresh. The color system they have made my shirt YELLOW :I :(

the second thing was-they give new license numbers now -Even though my last name begins with an "A" -my new one begins with an "R" --I think I heard every time you renew it now that they change your long ID number :(

My picture turned out good though  :)
And I didnt have to lie on my weight this time

I haven't changed my weight since I got my first license back in the '50's!  I figure I'll get back to that weight some day.  ;)  Now my height is another matter.  I'm about an inch shorter than I was back then.  In my latest picture I look naked!  It was summer and I had on a scoop neck t-shirt and the camera didn't get my shoulders!

In my latest picture I look naked!  Yowza!

 

Oh I remember Jack now. He helped me off the horse, so I helped....

I gotta do my license soon.

I don't want a new number!

ok- I am gonna hang out in here for the Oscars

currently watching a special on Blacks in Minnesota (St Paul)
on channel 2
Paul Larson is speaking in it :)

I suppose this should be in the history thread, but hey, this is me2 your talking about :)

learn about it:

ofcourse I have been to Gibbs Farm - silly

I am pumping my mind into a Guiness and back into history so bare with me-

"As impressive as St Anthony Falls was to its early visitors, it pales when compared to the River Warren waterfall that was thundering in downtown St Paul 12,000 years ago. In the 1850's St Anthony Falls was about 1,500 feet across and fell about 30 feet. The River Warren Falls at the High Bridge was 2,700 feet across and fell 175 feet"!!

I am amazed every time I run along Water St through Lilydale Park and under the High Bridge how beautiful this area in the whole World really is. The sandstone eroded and tiny sea creatures embedded. With how low the Mississippi River is, it only takes my imagination to think how cool it must have been to walk to the edge of what is now the bluff.  It would be 150-200 feet deep! The sound of the rushing water and the falls must have been deafening!

Seeing these two rivers come together is impressive. The geologic story of this confluence is even more impressive. About 20,000 years ago, the Laurentide ice sheet covered this region. The glacier retreated and advanced several times over the next 10,000 years. With each retreat, great reservoirs of fresh water were created. One of these reservoirs grew to be the largest fresh water lake for which we have evidence of existence that has ever formed.

This reservoir is named Lake Agassiz. The first evidence of Lake Agassiz is during one of the last retreats of the glacier 11,700 years ago. Lake Agassiz's southern border was near Fargo, and it extended northward a great way into northern Canada. It drained and refilled and finally drained for good between 7,500 and 8,500 years ago. The major outlet for water from Lake Agassiz was what is now the Minnesota River Valley. The river proceeding from Agassiz was called the River Warren. It was a river of incredible flow and power. As it passed through the area where Fort Snelling stands today, it was joined by a much smaller tributary (eventually called the Mississippi).

Downtown St. Paul was the site of the River Warren Falls 11,700 years ago. Geologists believe that at 200 feet drop and ½ mile wide it was the largest waterfall (flow) to have ever existed in America. In only about 1700 years, these falls had receded back to where the Minnesota and Mississippi come together today. The reason the waterfall was able to recede so far so quickly was due to the composition of the rock over which the river flowed. The soft St. Peter sandstone underlying the Platteville limestone at the surface eroded away quite readily and the falls receded.
The falls continued to recede up the Mississippi to its current location in downtown Minneapolis (St. Anthony falls). The same type of erosion can be seen at nearby Minnehaha falls. From your vantage point at the confluence of the rivers, look across the Minnesota river and up the far bank. Note the limestone over sandstone wall just below the apartment building. That wall and the bluff upon which Fort Snelling sits were the edges of the mighty River Warren. The sandstone layer is white and soft and is the lithified (meaning made into rock) remains of the beaches of an Ordovician sea that covered all of the region 450 million years ago. The Platteville limestone atop the sandstone is more erosion resistant. It contains the fossils of snails and clams that lived on the floor of an ocean that covered the region 400 million years ago. Above the limestone layer is the modern soil.

Did you ever know that in 1955, skeletal remains of a now extinct form of bison were found in St Paul?

Thanks Kitch-
This part amazes me too: Geologists believe that at 200 feet drop and ½ mile wide it was the largest waterfall (flow) to have ever existed in America

nope...didn't know that....your mind amazes me....

 

I'm soo impressed....

Escavators found it along Trout Brook while working on the sewer extentions at Mississippi St and MarylandAve -in a peat deposit more than 85 feet deep! A giant Beaver was found there too!

takes another swig...

what else can I tell you

what I can't tell you is where that bison and beaver are today. I know a giant beaver (I think) was found in Hidden Falls years back too. If I recall, it was found in a small cavern back in the 1960's. hmmmm, now I wonder...I think I have a copy of a newspaper article on that around here. great, sigh, now I have to go find it! I will keep you posted on that.

...ok....enough of the pillow talk.....

I gotta go somewhere-but I will be back later.

I stick to my promises Ian ;p

If you are a RCHS member than there is a discount.
I think its worth going -but I am a little more into history than most.
There is an Orchard event coming up-
and the best time to go is during events-like the ice cream socials and the like.
Summertime is best since it is not open in the Wintertime ;)

Well I went to 2 video stores looking for The Wall-it was never returned at the Blockbuster on Robert St & probly out for a couple of weeks at the Grand Ave location. I thought maybe we had it on video around here but we don't. I may have to look at Target for it. I saw it when I was younger but I want to see it again. 

Soooo, I ended up with Stepford Wives, The Villageand Shall We Dance.

I need something to make me laugh, to be scared so I can at least think of leaning on someones shoulder and then the tear jerker.::sigh::
