Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

for anyone updating books, hayden heights rec center was redone last summer,the playground is all new and bigger and I think they may have redone the tennis court too.
Glad to see some fellow East siders on the board! I've got to get under the blankets here and dream of snow to dig through.
The driving wasn't SO bad here a little bit ago, but there definitely were some slick spots. The sanding trucks were out though, so hopefully tomorrow morning will be uneventful.
OK, Belinda Jensen (editor's note: Yummy) sez we should have 3-4 total inches by noon tommorow. Temps will be colder this week, with possible light snow thurs and fri. Sounds like we may need shovels after all.
One thing to note also. I was out driving around today and drove past Arlington/Arkwright park. On several of the entrances there were big signs posted that read "Keep off New Turf. Violators will be prosecuted." I'm guessing if they have new turf they don't want 1000 folks wandering around on, it won't be hidden there.
On the other hand, maybe it's already hidden there, and the signs are to keep us out 'till next week? On that paranoid note, goodnight!
Ares, I saw a few days ago you and scribe were talking about quitting smoking. Let her know that I used Zyban and it worked really, realy well. I wish her all the luck!
actually it was thx and scribe who were quitting (they're the married ones here). my personal bad habit is my fingernails :) that and caffeine, but i have no intention of trying to give that up!
Belinda Jensen (editor's note: Yummy)
and hearts were broken all across the twin cities years ago when they said she was getting married. :)
Looks like Jake will soon have his machine operating again.
Also looks like tonight may be the best night to put that prize down in some park/public ground. The snow depth is beginning to seem more significant (compared to nothing earlier).
Heading for the sheets to dream of white coated blue medallions resting comfortably in the soft snow just waiting for me to go pick it up.
The Messiah is back for yet another night of chats, but I can't chat too long. I have a very busy schedule ahead of me. So I start with this, "My teachings show the way of life, yet the only way to get ahead in life is of whom you know. If you know the right people, you will get far, if you don't, I'll show you what life is like on the streets." - Quote The Messiah, Never More!
And since everyone left I leave you with this, "If you think you are fooling me, you are wrong. If you lie, tell the truth. If you steal, give something to the poor. If you have pre marital sex, use a condom. If you don't believe in me, ignore what I have just said." - Quote The Messiah, NeverMore!
Hi everyone, thanks for offering to help with my computer woes.... at least I got my modem working! Anyways, My screen is black and white. I can live with that until the hunt is over! Thanks again coolerheads!
I had a thought occur to me today. Some people were talking about where the medallion is hidden could be influenced by the fact we've had warm temperatures and they may avoid putting it near water. I thought of a piece of evidence to the contrary.
In 1999, Clue 11 I think it was said to look for two frozen places/planes of equal size in reference to the hockey rinks at Conway. But as many of us noticed, the rinks at Conway were in fact not at all equal in size. One was substantially larger than the other. Yet, on the official map of Conway (I forgot where I saw it) the hockey rinks were drawn on the map as if they were identical and side by side. This leads me to believe that the cluewriter had based this clue based on looking at the map instead of the park itself, quite possibly because they were doing the whole thing before the rinks were set up. Even if it's not cold enough to use them, I imagine the rinks are at least set up by November or December. At that point it would be hard to say if the lakes would be frozen in January or not.
Ergo, I don't think they would avoid a park with a body of water because of the thin ice danger. I don't think they could know about it when all this is decided and I imagine once a spot is chosen, they'd be reluctant to pick a new spot and start over. So I don't think that will be a concern. Besides, who is really going to start digging up a lake to try and find it?
Looking out the window, what do I see? Snow covered ground or grass? Yes!!!! - I finally see snow covered ground - thankfully, just in time for the hunt!!
Let's hope that it stays and that we get more. If we get three inches of snow and nothing more, my prediction of 2 5/8" of snow by midnight of the 20th may come true!
don't get me started on the white stuff. yep i love it. but i absolutely hate people who can't remember how to drive on it. the guy in the ditch at 694 and 35e this morning, for instance. drive safely out there if you haven't yet done so.
How many days are we excited to hear the radio announcer tell us there's 3 to 5 inches of new snow? Not often....but today that's different. Bet that medallion went down during the overnight hours.
I am really glad to hear that everyone is excited about the snow. Everyone seemed a little down inthe dumps last week, due to "NO" snow!!! But not anymore!?!

Goodnight and SCD's!
thanks for what, thx?
People who live in glass houses....
ahh. like that, huh? i don't remember where i first saw it at, but it kinda stuck with me and sounds a lot less clichéd than ...shouldn't throw stones.
I've seen it before too, you just reminded me of it.
Too many posts today. Just hit the recent button tonight. That post of yours was the first post I saw when I logged on.
To stay on topic. Looks like we got some snow today.

Jake has a copy of the Windows ME disk and is heading home.
...turns out we's neighbors...6 blocks away.
Showed him all my Carnival "valuables" and gave him the coveted 1st PPMCC button.
Looks like Jake will soon have his machine operating again.

I bet he had a good time with that, Ian!
Oh yeah...
Goodnight X 2! See yaz all tomorrow.

back in business Jake?
Ok, I'm off to work.
As Rod Stewart used to say...
"Tonight's the night...."
Just thought I'd check in for the night, missed everyone today
We'll get to work on those bumper stickers, thanks for the good ideas. Something simple, but noticable sounds good. We're on it...
Ares- I do have my own acct, but never use it. Is this easier for ya?
Well, looks like Ian's taken care of the "amenities",
Snow-filled dreams for all!

morning cooler heads! 5 more days! are we all ready?! glad your back on jake!
Morning! I wandered through 2-3 inches this morning on the east side, and it was snowing as I went. Things are looking up.
Afternoon all! I'm off home. Enjoy and stay on topic. ;-)

Morin all!
Look mom whats that white stuff?
don't get me started on the white stuff. yep i love it. but i absolutely hate people who can't remember how to drive on it. the guy in the ditch at 694 and 35e this morning, for instance. drive safely out there if you haven't yet done so.
Good Morning!
How many days are we excited to hear the radio announcer tell us there's 3 to 5 inches of new snow? Not often....but today that's different. Bet that medallion went down during the overnight hours.
Have a great snow filled day everyone!
I'm almost always excited when there's new snow on the ground. That's why I couldn't move to a warm climate, I'd miss it too much.
Good Morning Everyone!! Glad to hear that everyone is liking the snow on the ground, I sure am. Except for the traffic that comes along with it!
Morning Swifty!
Morning all.
morning swift, thx, frosti. slow morning. people must be snow'd in
I am really glad to hear that everyone is excited about the snow. Everyone seemed a little down inthe dumps last week, due to "NO" snow!!! But not anymore!?!
nope. swift. not anymore. here's to hoping for more snow. but not till after this afternoon's rush hour.
