End of the Season?

Posted by Kevin......













A local radio station has a bit called "Weekend, High or Low?". Listeners call in and tell everyone why their weekend was a good one or a bad one.

It's pathetic. People call in and say stuff like, "My weekend was a low. I went to buy tickets to see RUSH, and it turned out they played the night before!" "My weekend was a high! My in-laws are from Atlanta, and the Vikings beat Atlanta, so take that in-laws!!"

Lame. But humor me now. Here was our weekend:


Low: Stace had to work Saturday.

High: I rode the 100 mile Jesse James Bike tour with the Northfield Bike Club.








Very Low: During the ride, I had a flat, then I almost got hit by a car (my fault), then some biker crashed in front of me (his fault), at 70 miles I fell behind my group, and around 98 miles two riders in front of me sped through a RR crossing as a train was coming!! (I stopped).
High: I finished the ride! I feel great!

Low: There were thousands of out-of-towners in Northfield for the Defeat of Jesse James Days.

Very High: Stace and I went to Blue Nile in Minneapolis for dinner.

Low: Sunday was perfect weather as Stace and I walked downtown to see all the garbage that outsiders decided to throw on our community's sidewalks and lawns. (Stace pulled an ice cream stick out of a bush in the town square!)














Medium High: Watched the Jesse James shoot out reenactment, then watched the "Defeat of Jesse James Days' never ending continuous cavalcade
-on-a-loop celebration festival parade that never seems to stop, ever".




















Very High: We waved to all the outsiders as they left our town.
