The Twins (or Twinkies as we like to call them) finally got us to pay for their new stadium. In a rip off Wrigley-ville in Chicago they're already calling it Twinsville (coming to you in 2010.) It will be nice to have baseball outside but it's next to the Hennipen County garbage burner (we don't bury trash, we burn it.) There's talk of using some of the burner output to heat the seats. They already use some of the energy output to heat and or cool parts of downtown. It's right behind the Target Center. There goes another parking lot...

Food on a Stick

author: Tyfoid Kid : St. Paul, MN

So the State Fair is big deal around here. www.mnstatefair.org/ The fair still has most of the traditional fair stuff, farm animal judging, cow milking, some place to by that corn bin dryer. But for us city folks once we get tired of looking at the largest pig at the fair we want to eat some really shitty for your body junk food. And if it's on a stick that seems to be a bonus. This is tracked with great fervor, even making the evening news casts. First we have the big 3 - Chesse Curds Mini Donuts French Fries in a big (think large...

Hydrocephalic Selleck

author: Tyfoid Kid : Minneapolis, MN

Nothing says danger and adventure like Hydrocephalic Selleck Strap in and feel the G's!!!!! and his Rockin' sidekick from the 80's Dancing Coke Can Gigantus. Admit it, you've got that little guitar lick from the theme song going through you head right now, don't you!!

Backyard Spider

author: Tyfoid Kid : Minneapolis, MN

So this guy showed up about 2 weeks ago. It would show up right at twilight and start building (or rebuilding depending on the wind and birds I guess.) At first I wasn't sure I liked it building it's web across half my deck. It was big (3 across inches with the legs) and it had a stringer that was at least 10 feet off to the left on a plant. But since it was very Charlotte's Web like in it's punctuality I got to look forward to seeing it every night (even saved it from one of the cats...

Tall Man on the Prarie

author: Tyfoid Kid : Minneapolis, MN

Rising up from the plains west of downtown Minneapolis. There are several sculptures on the General Mills corporate campus and from what I could tell you can wander about and look at them (I did not see any "No Trespassing" signs.) and across the street they have deeded some land over to the state for a permenent nature preserve. It's pretty nice considering it's in the armpit of two highways.

Great Use of a Fallen Tree

author: Tyfoid Kid : Minneapolis, MN

What do you do when the tree in your front yard splits in half? You make a cool Arbor out of it. This is also the debut of the fits in my pocket, all weather (that's what the box says, we'll see) 6Mp camera so I can do more Citynoise stuff. Still getting used to no viewfinder though.

Ruby Beach

author: Tyfoid Kid : Olympic Peninsula, WA

Low tide so lots of rocks out Lots of drift wood I guess because the trees are right there But it's not all black and white. These guys were waiting the return of the sea.
