Maybe the real reason the Twins brought back Hunter was for leadership in signature legibility for all of the rookies.
just gotta get a big pot made.
I don't trust it, I don't see anything that says "Tim Horton's", yet the flags of Saskatchewan and Canada are right there.
Probably a cup of chickory or Postum.
I wondered if there was a single term for the fake coffee using chicory.
I didn't find one, but I did find this wonderful German word from the Wikipedia entry on Coffee Substitutes:
"Muckefuck, a generic term in Germany for coffee substitutes, possibly from the French 'mocca faux'."
I'm so old, I remember when Gerald Wallace was a skinny, athletic, promising youngster.
Good for the Warriors to move Lee somewhere where he can (probably) start. Sorry that it has to be Boston, but with the East as bad as it is, maybe they can compete for a playoff spot soon.
I haven't looked at it yet, but this might be interesting for some of you. You can take the course officially for $25 or audit it for free.
That would be worth it just for the certificate. Not sure if I want to learn SQL*, though.

So . . . kids. Yesterday my parents took the boys to the National Eagle Center. It's about a 90-minute drive, but everyone had a great time. On the way back, the jalapeno (who is almost 5) had plenty of time to monkey around and somehow (I can't for the life of my figure out how), got the lap belt portion of the seat belt wrapped entirely around his midsection. My parents discovered this upon arriving back at my house. Because the belt automatically retracts, the more they worked to free him, the tighter it got. In the end, they called 911. A fire truck and ambulance were just a few blocks away and, from the sound of it, the first responders did a great job assuring the jalapeno he'd be fine and cutting the belt to release him. The peperoncino loves trucks of all kinds, so it was bonus excitement for him. However it happened, I'm quite sure the jalapeno will never mess around with his seat belt again!
Sounds like a good adventure.
Definitely recommend the eagle center in March. We saw more eagles on the river than in the center.
wowzers!
If there were a National Peregrine Falcon Center that near, we'd probably have lifetime memberships already.
HPR came to the office last week and sat quietly through one of my meetings because he was watching for the downtown Mpls Peregrines that I occasionally see.
He saw one chasing a pigeon!
Don't you mean a dove?
The AOU officially calls the bird Columba livia the "Rock Pigeon".
In Britain, those populations that have few domesticated birds in their ancestry are called "Rock Doves" and those that are primarily descendants of escaped domestics are "Feral Pigeons".
Being under the jurisdiction of the AOU rather than the BOU, they're "Pigeons" in my parlance.
I've loved my drives for work to Wabasha because I've always seen at least five eagles on the way.
We keep a pair of scissors in the van for this very reason.
Coming into todays games, the White Sox are -79 in run differential.
That is not good.
Something seems to crash my phone when I try to link, but the above is for the Jazz minded in St. Paul. The art was provided by my institution, so at least they got that part right.
Berrios has 6 Ks after striking out the side in the fourth. Rochester leads 2-0.
After 5 dominant shutout innings (8 Ks, 1 BB), Berrios gets hit hard in the sixth and leaves trailing 3-2 with two on and no outs. He threw exactly 100 pitches.
Watching baseball on ESPN and the videoboard upgrades at Wrigley seem weird. Or out of place with the old stadium.

David Lee to Boston for Gerald Wallace's expiring contract.
