Potholes

This year, in Minnesota, potholes have been especially bad.  It turns our we are not alone.  After a collision with a massive pothole, Claudia Ficca and Davide Luciano decided to make the best out of the situation - i.e. make some art.  Check out the website for their creative take on the road craters.

Open Letter

Open letter to my boss -

Thank you for coming in to work this week.  You have made it quite clear to us all that you are (very) sick.  I don't believe you when you say you're not "catchy."  I bet you are.  You haven't been to a doctor, so you don't really know.  You are mopey, cranky, and sound like a dying transvestite that swallowed a cat. 

It's really wonderful sitting across from you while you hack, cough, snot your way through the day.  I love that you keep stealing kleenex off my desk and blowing your nose right in front of me.  It makes me really happy that you keep touching stuff on my desk.  Can't you see that I am being EXTREMELY liberal with my antibacterial hand sanitizer?  Back the eff off.

Do us all a favor and go home.

Sincerely,
The Minneapolist

Thank you, Nick Blackburn.

After sitting through a really really painful Twins game on Monday (weather was great, seats were amazing, Twins hitting was solid, Twins pitching, especially closers were HORRIBLE), last night's game was a real treat to watch.  Nick Blackburn pitched a full game for the win. Thank you, Nick Blackburn.  The rest of your fellow pitchers could learn a thing or two from you.

Can't stop eating. . .

Damn you, Haribo!  I am having some serious self-control issues when it comes to the following two products:

A Mushroom kind of day.

I have had no fewer than seven mushroom encounters today (no, not the magic kind).  I have had two people show me pictures of morels growing in their yards. I have seen three Facebook posts regarding mushrooms.  At lunch I learned that people hunt mushrooms in Iowa.  And now there are even mushrooms on 20x200.
