In a few hours myself and other classmates with be kicking off our 20th reunion weekend. For those coming in there is a dinner at a local restaurant then drinks later at a local establishment. For the ladies in our class they get a treat tonight as our local town theater has a male review show scheduled for tonight.

Tomorrow for lunch there is a potluck which in a new touch will feature several teachers from throughout the years (among those coming are my first and fifth grade teachers), and later saturday night drinks at another local establishment.

A couple of photos from today’s trip to the Smithsonian, in honor of KC and Boxster: (closest thing to tree rat I could find.)

I don't remember AIRBHG being that stupid.
I have that user on ignore, and I don't have very many on ignore, but I couldn't figure out why at first. He changed his name. The other people I have ignored still have their original names so by process of elimination, I figured out who that was.

There was a very small mouse scurrying around my driveway this afternoon. Was looking to make a move on my garage door. I blocked him. Did not kill the rodent. Am I getting soft? I mean the little **** was probably carrying the bacterium that causes Lymes Disease so I think I should have stomped him.

You just want to trap it out later. But yeah you should have stomped him.

Did they have any exhibits featuring @ImJustKCClone's foot prints preserved in ancient, fossilized mud?
Aren’t you a lawyer? You should know not to ask a question to which you don’t know the answer. Which is, by the way, that we didn’t have time to get to everything in even one building.
I did, however, have flashbacks to “Night at the Museum” as we walked into the Natural History building.

So, I says to myself I says, "That's a steam locomotive whistle." Check the interweb and, yup, excursions from Mpls today pulled by Engine 261. Might try and get pictures of it coming back later today if it isn't raining.

This is why I don't call my father as often as I should. He was in full rant mode...
Kinda tough to hear your father tell you that you shouldn't be able to vote, because as a woman you simply don't have the temperament for it.

This man was an aeronautical engineer. He helped put us on the moon. And this is where his failing brain has taken him. :(

Last night was pretty crazy but fun. I didn't drink last night, but one of the girls from our class did but her folks house is only a couple of blocks away from the bar. When she went to go home I left and walked her home to make sure she got home safely.

Just finished our class potluck which this year in a twist featured teachers and administrators from throughout the years. To quite a few I think it meant quite alot. I'm pretty lucky in that our class though large in size has strong core that sticks together.

For @NWICY who thinks rides in the Mpls are interesting.

Add steam locomotives to things you might see on a bike ride in the Twin Cities. Not entirely coincidental since I heard the steam locomotive whistle while having my morning cup(s) of coffee so knew they were doing an excursion today. Hoped if I planned my ride today to be by Cedar Lake around 5:00 I might catch them on their return run. Scored.

That maxim applies to court rooms, not the interwebs, especially when the question is a rhetorical one.
