That might be the one. I don't recall the dog, but it might have been in the shot too.

It kinda looks like i'm begging for change.... haha...

"please ma'am... can you spare some change for me and my giant, oversized, stuff animal dog to get some cheesecurds?"

I still havent found a permanent place in the house to keep that thing.... its been used as a foot-rest infront of a couple of chairs, its been used as a chair, itself.... its probably spent time in every single room in the house....

They may look cool when you're there spending huge amounts of money on tickets, and trying to win them.... but just remember:

A. They weigh alot, and once you're at the fair, you dont go back to the car for anything.... especially if you did the park and ride deal....

B. They're hard to get into the car, anyways, even if you parked close.

C. You have noplace to put them, once you get home

that being said.... it was still cool to get it... like every 20 feet somebody stops you and says "wow!!! what did you do to get that thing?!?!? How much money did you spend on tickets?!?!"

Great Waters Beer Release Mmm. Today is a good day for beer... Great Waters Brewing Company is releasing their Winter Carnival Ale today, served cask-conditioned. On this first day of Winter, they'll be releasing "a ridiculously hopped Winter celebration ale." The beer has been dry-hopped in the casks, too, so you can bet that the hops will give you a nice punch in the kisser.

According to their website, their Black Watch Oat Stout and Slapshot IPA are running low, so drink up. Also, it looks as if they have some dastardly creation called King Boreas Imperial Wit. It sounds like trouble, though I'm willing to bet that trouble tastes very good.

"It sounds like trouble, though I'm willing to bet that trouble tastes very good"

and it usually doesnt taste like it has alchohol in it, either.....

can I still post?

Hmm.. well, I saw something peculiar at a park today, won't say what or where yet, but it's good enough for me to check out for the 1st clue. Could be nothing.. but it will be very interesting if the medallion ends up there....

Allison - are you still keeping the same link in Yahoo! - last time I checked there was very few new posts

I still have the same Yahoo group if that's what you mean. If you look on the main page, you'll see there are virtually no posts at all for most of the year and then it takes off in January, but that's usually closer to the start. It's just now starting to come back to life and I'm sure activity will start to pick up.

If you're asking about the link I have to the PP site, I can only say for sure that it works for me. I'm not positive that the same link will work for any user. If nothing else, go to TwinCities.com and look for "Discussion Boards" on the left menu.

Praise Jesus! Lilman and AW, long time no read. I hope you are both doing well and I am looking forward to seeing you out in the parks. As for the posting bit, I guess I will be posting here at Ableminds, and maybe the PP site. I just also joined AW's yahoo group for the hunt. It should be a fun and exciting year. Will see you all at the PDG and we can celebrate AW's birthday on the 21st and my belated birthday from the 20th of Jan! I promise I won't wear any steelwool this year so nobody gets offended.

In works of art Boreas was represented as bearded, powerful, draped against cold, and winged.

So I just need to get some wings ...
