Hey 19 - Random Thoughts: In the year 2525...more or less

My view before the 4th fireworks. Over somewhere on the hill to my right is a woman dressed (and acting) like Marge Simpson.

Also, to my right is an ISU grad and to my left is an ISU sweatshirt (said go cyclones to me walking up) and I’m not talking about my kids.

Where was this? I can't see enough of the skyline to guess a city...

I just found out Ryobi tools are green. Not yellow as I've thought for years

Green.

I don't know what's real anymore

I was today years old when I found out.

Btw, got to the top of hurricane ridge (even climbed the non trail to get another 50 foot higher) and as I’m sitting there looking at the view this guy walks up and yells go hawks at me. I had an ISU windbreaker on. It doesn’t even phase me anymore.

I'm not the better person, I always flip those *ssholes off.

Is that on Mercer Island, looking back toward Seattle?

Gasworks park.

Gasworks park.

I watched the fireworks there in 1995. I think that might have been my last visit to Seattle (I lived there in 1991).

My whole family felt there isn’t much to do in Seattle. A lot around it but a town that is kinda boring.

Lost my Fitbit this weekend

At the Hoh river in Washington, I was people watching and I realized that kids haven’t changed much since my time. Every young boy that walked by the river would play by throwing/skipping rocks into the river.

Pretty sure our kids spent half the time we were at our friends house on the Mississippi in Anoka throwing rocks into the river. Honestly surprised they still have any rocks left on the bank.

Left Algona, pulled into Fort Dodge at 11:05 so Taco Tico it is

Since my parents passed, I haven't had Tico. I miss it. I should probably take a roadtrip.

I enjoyed it, but I didn't get as invested in the characters as I did in the past versions.

I've seen 4 or 5 Jurassic movies. One of them was bad enough that I was actively hoping the characters would get eaten. The rest were fun movies as long as you didn't think too much. .

I thought of thus as I was telling one of the new residents about when to staple vs suture a head lac. When I had just an R1 I knew how to do head lacs pretty well so jumped on the first one that came in trying to show my competency. Had a picture perfect procedure and my attending was saying well done then looked at the stapler I had used and I saw him just drop his jaw.

I had only used 4 staples of a 20 staple single use sterile device and had no idea that there was a smaller one that had 5. According to my attending at the time that was a $250 mistake as that was the cost differential of the two devices and I had to throw the remaining staples in the 20 stapler away.

I ended up just pocketing the device to take home to add to my kit because I was too mortified to throw it away.

Isn't this how that human centipede movie starts...?

How long do you think it will be before they find the body at the bottom of the ridge?

I thought maybe from the east side, but the building outlines didn't match that angle.

Good day and a half in Anoka before coming back. We did walk around downtown a little bit and my wife found out about the whole Halloween town thing so at least she may be back up that time of year. I did see the speakeasy as well but we did not go this time. Also took a bit and hit up the Como Park Zoo which was nice.

It's how I found my only arrowhead. Was surveying one summer and waiting for the guys to set up so I could get a shot and was killing time throwing rocks into the nearby creek. Was about to toss the one rock I picked up and thought, "Ooh, that's a freaking arrowhead!"

Was just thinking, I have granddaughters age 6 and 4. They’re too far away at the moment to hug.

Did you check out the conservatory as well? Mrs. Velo and I will visit a few times each winter when the winter is getting to be too much. Gives us a taste of summer in the middle of the endless winter night.
