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.

I hate when John resets my clock.
I reset it because it got screwed up somehow when she rearranged the furniture.
She was 15 minutes early the other day and I was in a meeting so she had to sit and wait for me.
Looks like a good clue analysis from My Dalliance. The only thing I wonder though is, what does it actually tell us? If there are any clear patterns, I'm sure the clue writer will make a point of breaking them.
And to top off all the noodling - we might have a different clue writer this year.
I really don't see much in the way of a pattern anyways. There seldom is. The only things that seem certain is the first clue will state Ramsey County or city limits and to stay off golf courses. Usually one of the early clues tells us what it's in if you're clever enough to figure that out and the very last clues narrow the hunt within the park that gets identified about midway through.
Here's something interesting to think about. You can't actually feel the cold air. The only thing you can really feel is your own skin, because that is as far as your nerves go. So when you step outside and it feels like it's below zero out, you're not really feeling sub-zero air. You're really only feeling your skin and how it's temperature has dropped below what it normally is. Once your skin gets to 32 degrees, it would freeze and I doubt you'd still feel anything at that point. Consequently, we can never really know what anything colder than 32 degrees genuinely feels like. All we can really notice is how quickly it cools our skin below it's usual temperatures.
Here's a tricky one back for you. You're out hunting and it's 20 degrees out, but a wind kicks up and the wind chill get's down to 0. You decide to go get some coffee and leave your shovel sitting out for an hour. What temperature is the shovel when you get back?

I was thinking of her.
:-)
THX, you are soooo trained. hee
Hey THX, what happened to your last tag-line? It was there and then gone. I liked it.
What do you think of this one?
You told her that dinner tasted like puke???
Suicide! Run! Buy jewelery!
I'm outta here!
See ya in the funny pages.
For the record, Scribe is a very good cook!
Yes, I like the dynamite one better than the cross one.

???????????????????
Good Evening!
Nice to see the days grow a bit longer, isn't it?
Lots of noodling and figuring going on here considering we're still clueless...and will remain that way for a bit more than 24 hours.

Still in the cooler
Hi Terry
Hi everyone!
Maureen:
These are the extra buttons that I have:
1967, 1994, 1985, 1938, 1939, 1987, 1995, 1996
1998, 1993, 1988, 1970, 1965, 1992, 1947, 1975
OK, there was talk earlier today about the temperature and 0 degrees. So here is something cool-you may have or have not heard it...
on "weekest link" day show today the guy said he would give double their zero$. ....which made me think of this too....

If it is zero degrees today and twice as cold tomarrow, what would the temperature be?
Hi AW!
I suppose it would be around -226 degrees below zero.
1939, 1947, whatever's better, can you throw in 98, love that year. Can't make it sat. So have to meet on the dig site.
And to top off all the noodling - we might have a different clue writer this year.

very close--good job! Impressive. I should have known you AW, would have gotten so close! :)
Whatchew mean you can't make it to the pre-dig gig, Maureen? Ugh!!!!!

I'll have them with me...let you choose
What's so special about 1998?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Terry? Are you related to a Barry?
Ian? That must be you on EBay?
Funny Ian
Terry I would really love too! This kid thing just pop's out of no where.
Not that I know of.
Here's a tricky one back for you. You're out hunting and it's 20 degrees out, but a wind kicks up and the wind chill get's down to 0. You decide to go get some coffee and leave your shovel sitting out for an hour. What temperature is the shovel when you get back?
It's the same as when you left it.
The answer I was given on the twice as cold Q was -230 F.
No, presumably it would have cooled off some since you're not holding it anymore and there's no body heat going into it.
I DITTO Terry! :)
I think (but I'm not completely sure) that absolute zero is -453. Maybe it's -459 though.
Me2
Yes, I generally buy as "kingboreas" and sell as "eurekafleamarket". I don't have any carnival stuff listed tho. I'm buying.
What temperature is the shovel when you get back?
If you're DDY, the shovel is gone !
That went through my mind, too!
My other thought:
Ask Green, she does that all the time.
yes, Ian, I have run across you many times. But, I did not know that you sell too. Sorry if I ever outbid you. :( sarahandbeans
If you outbid me, that's fine. I set my limit and that's it.
ok---take a look at this....Winter started at ...
1:21 pm on 12 - 21 - 2001
all those 0s,1s, 2s cool, eh?
Me2,Thats weird..whaddya think it means???:)
Can you remember any particular item? I mostly bought computer stuff.
You guys ever run across old winter Carnival posters?
I haven't
Ian,well you should look for me! I'm lookin for yur 1966 button every weekend!
