My family had rented a room at a hotel to watch that game, CM. I never saw the air sucked out of a party like it was after that missed field goal. You don't forget something like that ending to a season.

I interviewed Jacob's mother for Let's Play Hockey shortly after his abduction. He played Midget level or something like that and was our cover. She was just a tiny thing, really small. I felt like she was trying to comfort me more than anything during the interview, she was so very optimistic.

I've got six of those Wheaties boxes in my basement. They scare me a little now when I see them. I imagine them full of wheat moths or something and have been close to tossing them many times but haven't yet.

Found this:

Might be time to toss them. No bids. :chagrin:

Someone on Craig's List has a few listed at $25, but hasn't had any takers yet.

treasure chest

My Mom was a delegate for the Democratic party and worked with Patty coaching her for public speaking. She is an amazing little person. She took time out to talk to my kids about safety and told them that a day doesn't go by that she doesn't think about Jacob and that she will look for him till she finds him or dies trying. It takes an exceptional person to be able to take a tragedy like that and help missing and exploited children all over the world!

Maybe the birds would enjoy the flakes this winter.

I hate when I buy something I think will appreciate and instead depreciate. Kind of like the stock market. :chagrin:

Does anyone know the title of the movie where they took the Oscar Meyer weiner car down the Ohio Hill?

At least I think it was Oscar Meyer - I know it was a weiner-mobile.

The movie was filmed at various places in the twin cities. Probably some time in the 1970s.

Rich girl, poor boy, she is getting married, he hang-glides through a cathedral window to stop the wedding. Some shots show the St. Paul Cathedral, but I heard the actual window he hang-glides through was from the Basilica in Minneapolis. Obviously he didn't actually hang-glide through *that* window, either.

Anyway, since I posted about this movie earlier, I have been trying to recall the title. I will almost get it - then - nothing. I hate it when that happens! I think its a title with three one-syllable words, like _____ _____ Day.

It looks like it was not ever released in DVD format - was trying to rent it through Netflix.

I'd forgotten all the big names that were in it - Gary Busey, Cloris Leachman, Tony Randall.

Maybe someone will read this and have a copy on VHS you can borrow?

Maybe I'll see if there is a used VHS copy to be had somewhere.

Just checked at the library here - no luck.

I found a city website about movies filmed in St. Paul. They even mention No Time For Cold Feet.

http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/film/

But they didn't mention Foolin' Around. I'm still trying to figure out how I stumbled on it.

Oh yeah, now I remember - I googled "rich girl poor boy church window" and it showed a link to the movie on imdb. I'd tried other word combinations, and tried imdb, but no luck until I googled and guessed the right words.

Try this: http://www.anitarenfroe.com/video_clips_main.htm

I'm on dialup here in the north and if I wait for the whole thing to buffer up, I could be found with my face buried on the keyboard by morning. So I don't know if it's the whole clip or just a portion - but it will give you the idea anyways.

webcast on hydrogen energy

 webcast on hydrogen

“Green Conservatism & Hydrogen – Unlimited Energy with a Clean Environment”

While assuring a clean environment and at the same time growing energy supplies is seen as incompatible by some, technology and new materials science provide an opportunity to meet global demands for increased energy in an environmentally benign way. The promise of greater, yet cleaner energy than that provided by fossil fuel dependence can enhance national security, create worldwide economic activity, and provide a cleaner and healthier future. Former Congressman Robert Walker will present such a vision in a proposal for converting to a hydrogen energy economy which can produce unlimited an unlimited supply of affordable, clean fuel for our future

The Cypress trees on Monterey remind me of these pictures I took on a trip to the coast of Oregon with my girlfriends last summer.

Cool trees OT.

I'm glad they included the Banyon trees. They're way cool. We got to see the largest Banyon tree in the world while we were resting from a day of whale watching in Maui. Amy stayed in the car to rest her stomach while tourist boy took pictures of the tree. They put off a huge amount of shade. It was like being in a house under it.

I am surprised they didn't include the Joshua trees though. Those are pretty freaky looking too. They even have their own national park devoted to them.
