I think this next item is really cool, Bob Collins and Mary Lucia have put their 5:15 segment online. I know with many folk Bob and Mary can inspire a love’em or hate’em situation, well you can put me in the love’em camp. MPR News Cut: Fresh Eye on the Radio
Give it a listen.
*Update*Speaking of MPR,if you haven’t seen David Brauer’s, of Minnpost, piece on MPR Executive Pay check it out, especially the comments.
Just the other day I was contemplating, much like the above image, about bringing on even more authors.
Unlike the beautiful image above I wasn’t enjoying the serene beauty of our lakes, I was being tossed out of a car at 50mph for not paying a debt in a timely fashion. ( Grandmas, what are you going to do right? )
That’s when it hit me, the road. Just kidding, it was the car behind us. No really, I think it was Bob Dylan on a motorscooter.
I digress.
What I really mean to say is more awesome writers!
Jon will be covering local outdoors, biking, and whatever else catches his interest.
Meghan likes to write about music and set things on fire. She can actually burn down a rock pile with just an ice cube and flynt.
And last to the party will be, Kara who will be starting mid-November and is going to take up the helm of fashion and intrigue . You may know Kara from MnDaily where she’s been rocking the fashion scene.
Please treat the new authors right, they are friendly, but armed and extremely dangerous.

The Milwaukee Burger Co. says patrons can bring in their Favre jerseys, pictures, posters and memorabilia and toss them into the barrel. The bar plans to donate $10 to an unspecified charity for each piece burned
Smoke from burning garbage stinks, can trigger asthma attacks and contains toxic compounds. Open burning of household solid wastes also is illegal with limited exceptions For example, it is illegal to burn all plastic materials, kitchen wastes, dirty or wet paper wastes, treated or painted wood, furniture and demolition material – or any other material that creates a nuisance. The exceptions include (if not prohibited by local ordinance) lawn and garden debris, small quantities of clean, untreated, unpainted wood and clean paper waste that is not recyclable
It then goes on to suggest Alternatives
Reuse: Reuse household items and give toys, clothes and furniture that you no longer want or need to someone who can use them.
Recycle: It’s the law in Wisconsin to recycle plastic, glass, metal, newspaper and cardboard. Take your recyclables to the recycling center closest to your house if there is no roadside recycling pick-up.
So unless the Favre pictures, posters and memorabilia are made out of clean paper and don’t have any plastic they cannot be burned by law. Also, it appears that burning clothing may also be against the law.
Why can’t this stuff be given to a charity that will reuse and recycle?
As you know the results shake out like this, Twins still behind, Favre hurt his fingernail, and the Gophers had a tough opponent that took it to them.
As you may not know there is a rift in the Mn sports community as to what the Gopher’s new TCF Stadium should be called; the two main nicknames seem to be “The Bank” and “The Vault”.
Here’s how I see it, if the team is going to metaphorically match the nickname as “The Bank” they would need to go big on Offense and as “The Vault” the would want to be stingy on Defense.
It seems the Football Captains want to name it Awesome
A record-setting crowd visited the 2009 Minnesota State Fair’s opening day Thursday. Minnesota Public Radio captured a portion of those 114,439 people from a video camera setup near its stage at the Fair and sped up the time from opening to closing to make this 20-second video.
So you know, go get something on a stick.
(What is the dude at 1:27 up to?)
