1. Rochester – In this city of 112,224 human beings and 679,000 Canadian Geese, health care takes center stage with a rather large clinic dedicated to the treatment of injuries involving Mayonnaise. Each year 1.3 million patients come to Rochester because of these Mayonnaise injuries. Most of these injuries occur because of mistaken assumptions that salad dressing is the same thing. These type of injuries are obvious to all so no further explanation is needed from me. American City Business Journal has ranked Rochester second nationally, in quality of life based on the high levels of income and education, those high levels of income and education create rich know-it-all’s who understand the difference between salad dressing and Mayo.


 

 

Call me obtuse, but it took me awhile to figure out you were talking about Rochester, Minnesota and not the home of our beloved Red Wings Rochester, NY

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry, that sounded a little harsh.

 

Ok, nope, not really sorry.   But if I had feelings, deep in that little pit in the center of our person where most folks keep them... I might feel something akin to sorrow.

 

Zod is not amused.

 

Can we just go ahead and put Mauer, Polanco, Buxton, Rosario, Dozier, Erv, and Berrios in bubble wrap over the weekend?

That and a little magic healing ointment for Sano.

 

 

5. Doors – I pushed on a pull door yesterday. Guy next to me says “It’s a pull”. Thank God he told me because my natural instinct was to try lifting from the bottom during my 2nd attempt at entry.

I first read that as "pull from my bottom."

 

Or, that's what I expected to read.

I know exactly who to call for this magic healing ointment....

 

You guys!! Today is National Coffee Day! Currently working on cup #2 this morning!

You're two hours ahead of me and only on cup two?

 

Piker.

 

You guys!! Today is National Coffee Day! Currently working on cup #2 this morning! 

So, going to actually work today or mail it in?

Weird it comes 1 day after National Drink a Beer day (I know some of you didn't know, so I had 2 to make up for it.....)

Yes

Think they would have found somewhere to squeeze in National Hangover Day around this time.

Why do you think National Coffee day follows National Have a Beer Day?

 

So, going to actually work today or mail it in?

 

 

I had a clause put into my offer letter that if my favorite team clinched a playoff spot before the end of the regular season, I can mail it in at work.

Is it a clause or a penumbra?

#5 reminds me of when I pull into the garage after an errand or trip and my wife tells me to turn off the car.   Geez, you make one mistake.

Now I have a legitimate excuse not to work! A co-worker next to me decided one space heater wasn't enough and plugged in 2 space heaters, resulting in blown surge... Phones and internet is down. 

Note: It's the first 70 degree day of autumn in Austin.... So of course, sweaters, uggz, scarves, and flanel apparel is needed today.

I feel your pain Vanimal.   It hits 70 or below here and you'd think the next ice age was setting in.   Then again I can't talk too much myself either.   I was in Alaska this summer and it was a cool and overcast 58 when I landed in Anchorage, and I was like "wow, it's actually pretty freakin' cold out!".  

 

I have gotten SO soft... I feel shame

You and me both, ExPat. Once it hits 50 something degrees I'm freezing now... All of our Minnesota weather toughness was lost years ago.

And no matter how many times people are told not to plug space heaters into cubicle outlets or surge arresters, they do it anyway.

Speak for yourself. I've been out of MN for 15 years and I don't get cold until it hits 69 degrees.
