    hmmm. i dont think so. you'd have to be looking across 94 and into maplewood to see it. i think there's too many homes in the way, except perhaps for the ne end of the park near bc.

    I just got back from battle creek. can see 3m perfectly, theres trail for nordic cross county ski. hills, playgrounds, ice rinks that lack ice. research i think means look back at previous years because something could be similar to a previous year. what vdo you think?

    You can see it from near IM for sure. We used to live on McLean, which is just a few blocks north. I know I've seen the top of the building from about Earl & McLean...

    You and me both, MM.

    Tom, if no one else posts it....go to www.co.ramsey.mn and look for parks... it is called Waterworks. And *that* part of the park would be pretty much off limits being that it's in Maplewood.

    Left in the lurch :Meaning

    Abandoned in a difficult position without help.

    Origin

    This has nothing to do with lurching in the sense of staggering unsteadily.

    There are reports that lurch is a noun originating from lych - the Old English word for corpse, which gives the name to the covered lych-gates that adjoin many English churches. The theory goes that jilted brides would be 'left in the lych (or lurch)' when the errant bridegroom failed to appear. The lych-gate is where coffins are left when waiting for the clergyman to arrive to conduct a funeral service. Both theories are plausible but there's no evidence to support either and in fact lych and lurch are unrelated.

    Actually the phrase originates from the French game of lourche or lurch, played in the 16th century. Players suffered a lurch if they were left in a hopeless position from which they couldn't win the game. The card game of cribbage, or crib, also has a 'lurch' position which players may be left in if they don't progress half way round the peg board before the winner finishes.

    I was there today, there are a buttload of cross country ski trails too. There were a lot of folks out skiing, not too many hunters.
