2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

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.

Hey Ares, channel 29 agrees with your reported channel 9 forecast. A few more inches between now and saturday! 550 cars towed in st paul during the snow emergency. Hope nobody on here got caught..

There are times having a cell phone is a wonderful thing. Most of the time we have ours in the off position though. We got it mostly in case of car trouble on the road.

well, mom, i freely give my co-workers my cell number even though i pay for it myself. of course they also know that i reserver the right to ignore them if they call as well.

I can't believe how many get towed during a snow emergency...and that's not all the ones that get tagged.

If it snows, what's so hard about paying attention to the radio, email, television, newspaper to know where you should be parked?

Hi all, I haven't been on for a few days and just slogged. I'm pretty excited about the white stuff.

PS Scribe quit smoking right before last year's hunt.

Hi leelabell. That must have taken awhile to slog.

I know! every year you see all these people getting their cars towed!I think I would park in the yard just to make sure!

ter, it's idiot proof. if there's a sign its plowed at nite. if not its plowed during the day. can't get much easier than that. of course if you invent something that's idiot-proof, someone will invariably invent a better idiot.

I saw three tow trucks this morning at 6am. Picking up cars. Seems too early, the day plow route shouldn't be towed until 8

Ares, I don't know if that last post was for me or someone else - it's okay with me whomever you'd like to share your cell # with.

About the towing that goes on - I'd like to know what part of the city all those cars get tagged and towed from. It sure doesn't seem to be in MY neighborhood.

you're right. that was for llady, mom. sorry for the confusion!

I have called and BEGGED them to come tow an idiot who never moved their car here during a snow emergency. They would park just far enough down so that as the plow pulled around, we'd end up with the mess in front of our place.

They never towed the guy and he never got tagged.

One year we just went out and shoveled all the plow leavings so he was blocked in good.

Thankfully that idiot moved on. Hope he's not in any of your neighborhoods.

terry, it's not only your responsibility to ensure that your street gets properly plowed, its your right . so, if anything like this ever happens in your neighborhood, feel free to hook it up behind your suv or a neighbors and tow it yourself. i wouldn't hesitate to, and given that its a snow emergency, no one else would either. and i'd venture to say that if the owner saw you doing it and called the police they wouldn't do a whole lot about it either. but that's just me.

my other, more brilliant idea is to abandon towing altogether. the plows are powerful enough to push at least a few cars out of the way at a time. just drop 'em off in a completely different location.

Pennies- you haven't contributed one decent thing about the hunt yet, so wait for the first clue to come on here, then skip the first 10,000 posts, and you should be happy.

we are supposed to be talking about the hunt

if all you want is hunt talk, feel free to wait until saturday nite at midnite. until then, there is no hunt.

let me say it again in case you didn't catch it the first time:

until saturday at midnite there is no hunt to discuss.

if you wanna complain about useless posts fine. just don't single one person out. cuz we're all guilty of it!

Pennies - I understand your frustration. I would share it with you if there was clue one out already. In the meantime, please just let the conversation be. Folks are getting to know each other a bit and there's nothing wrong with that when there isn't a clue in sight to talk about.

Congrats on the new HD, Tim! Nice to see you on here the same time as myself. However, I must get to bed. Been up waiting for child #1 to come home from a night out with Grandma, and now that she's back the eyelids are heavy. 4:30 comes awful early. Goodnight and SCD's!

We were talking about Devil's Den earlier Pennies, but you didn't answer how it has been the key to the last three hunts. So we decided to discuss other things in your silence.

Pennies, you're not winning very many friends. You may think negatively of Tim, but the real Coolerheads know what kind of person he is. If you want to put someone down, why not yourself? What kind of person wants to make assumptions like that and criticize someone? You talk about staying on topic, yet a post like that does nothing to help us get back on topic. It is just hypocritical.

The Messiah is back yet again for another great night of Teachings.

  • ******Teaching # 3029*******

    There is such a thing as Devil's Den I believe. You must find it to find the medallion. THe last 4 people to find the medallion have found Devil's Den. Please Pennies keep the harshness to the minimal amount. Yes I can understand why you dont like Tim......but this is a public place. So if you find the Den. You'll find the medallion!

    someone's looking to have their account banned, aren't they? at least that's the message you're sending me, and probably the better part of the board.

    get a new name, post like that, and they'll ban that too. the cycle ends when they decide that your email address is no longer eligible for access.
