    Have We Got Ourselves a Real Coaching Staff?

    I think we're going to get destroyed in the B1G this year, which is not the end of the world. I would be encouraged if Johnson's teams would be get better as the season went along rather than worse though. Maybe we pull off an upset here and there, we'll see.

    Do you think you'll visit space in your lifetime?

    This isn't a political slam but I still wonder what in the world Obama was thinking when he axed the Space Shuttle.

    Who was with me in the Dome 34 years ago tonight?

    I was not there but we did go to game two of that series and game six of the World Series. Hrbeks grand slam landed near our section. I work at the airport and the only understandable description of when that happened is being out near the runway when a fighter takes off. Painfully loud. Great...

    Exercise Thread!

    I've typically divided my exercise between spring/summer/fall and then winter. This was my winter workout for about 15 years, believe it or not. I guarantee that doing this full speed is brutal. If you can keep up with this move by move at their pace, my hats off. The old Tae Bo. I still...

    Awesome lineup. I'd have killed to have seen Freddie King. Generally speaking I remember the big 'teen' hangout being the KQRS area by the Grandstand. We went yesterday. We left before the rain hit. Great weather, limited crowd, no lines, great food. Ahhhh.

    It's what I grew up with. It'll always be Heritage Square.

    2021 Minnesota State Fair

    Mexican village changed over to the Bazaar some years ago. It's in the south east corner of the Fairgrounds. I'm fairly certain the only way out or in is on the side facing the street. If you're in the back or moving within all of the small shops you'd be in trouble if anything were to happen...

    Yes, but I was thinking Heritage square has always been a fairly open area whereas Mexican village is pretty closed in and thus a bit of a fire hazard with few exits.

    Heritage square has always been fairly open. Do you mean Mexican village now called the bazaar?

    The real test is seeing what's going on at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. I can't imagine we'll be that much different I guess. They started on the 12th and run through the 22nd. No big outbreaks reported yet...

    Not for ages. They used to be over on Larpenteur and Snelling. Great food then. We always hear good things about it still.

    Those are the ones that are operated by the MTC. There'll be many operated by private carriers. I think parking will be tough this year as many won't be comfortable getting on a crowded bus. I could be wrong though.

    We're in that general vicinity. Nice area, very central to the twin cities.

    Wear your mask and go. You certainly won't be alone.

    If so try Grace Church on Hamline and 36.

    We typically park at the Boy Scout parking at the church on Midway Parkway. It's maybe $15.00. You have to get there fairly early though but still pretty slick. Roseville has a lot of park and rides. If that's your option I would use St. Rose of Lima or New Life Presbyterian. Both are fairly...

    2021 Minnesota State Fair

    Hard to say how this'll go over. I would think many would be compliant indoors. We don't have an issue with it and we're pretty anti-mask. Outdoors though? No chance in hell I'll wear a mask...

    I should add that parking is going to be a big unknown this year. I think a lot of people are going to avoid park and rides. Street parking is tough during a regular year, this year I think it will be next to impossible.
