I'm not in a jacket most days even now. These locals are precious.

Yeah, I almost never wear my winter coat here. About MN natives ask, "How do you put up when it gets that cold?" and I tell them that they certainly don't b!tch and moan about it like here!
Today's mini-caucus plan: Red Cow (north loop location) at noon.
I can't make the noon portion, but could swing by if folks are still thinking about pub brewery-crawl after.
I am also not able to meet for lunch. But I might be able to get out tonight.
What's a very small caucus called? A caucuscule? A caucusito?
AMR and I sat in a booth, facing each other. We both wore sunglasses the entire time and communicated by passing notes under the table. It was all good.
The Reuben is not memorable. I'll order something else the next time I'm there.
Reubens are tricky. I'm completely in favor of them in theory, but mostly they end up too greasy.
It was too low in flavor.
It was on a Pretzel bun, which I thought might be good but wasn't. It wasn't bad, just pointless.
Facing each other? Tsk tsk, now everyone knows the association. You needed to get adjacent tables and face away from each other.
I don't sit without an easy view of the door.
Pepper doesn't sit where she's visible from the door.
Facing each other was the only possibility without using two tables during the lunch rush.
Spycraft is no reason to be rude.
Runner daughter dropped the dog off this morning complaining about a bad smell; I smelled her car and the dog and smelled nothing. I got a text from her at work saying she found out the dog had thrown up on her coat and top; it was her first time wearing the coat after getting it dry cleaned. I bet that's the last time it happens this year.
I remember hearing of that story in elementary school. Shows what kind of story it was to be easily remembered 45 years later
Dido. Here are my comments on DW's BoF "Share" yesterday:
True American Hero. If Pig's Eye gets a beer label, Jolly Joe should as well.
Jesse "JV" Ventura tried a similar tactic, but got found.
This was probably the first story of MN history I ever heard. My Dad and Paulite Uncle discussed it while driving through the still-capital city. I may have been five. I may have also believed that it was a rule that State Capitols had to be in ugly cities so St. Peter was the only other choice. I wasn't yet skilled in sarcasm detection.
I'd never heard that story before (unsurprising as I grew up in Indiana and Iowa). Thanks for sharing, dw. That was a great piece of local history. I really enjoyed that.
Ricky Rubio's line tonight: 10-2-17 (!) ,3 turnovers, 3 steals (he's been a steal machine the last two or so weeks)
17 assists ties a franchise record

I see what you did there.
Shock: the people who dont want to pay student athletes pay themselves a lot of money and create meaningless, 6 figure paying jobs.
As college sports revenues spike, coaches aren’t only ones cashing in
I knew there was another reason I avoid college athletics other than terrible quality of play.
I posted this on the Book of Face yesterday, but I'm posting it here too.
