When I was working it was the Commerce Business Daily. Where the Gov't published upcoming contracting opportunities. Have no idea if that's what you're asking about or, for that matter, if it even exists anymore.

I am guessing, based on who asked, that it is this:

I can't remember if it was this spring or last summer but the Coon Rapids Dam (on the Mississippi) had an infestation of huge spiders last year. There were probably a dozen in every square foot of the railings and they liked to put webs across the walkway so you would constantly get a faceful whenever you rode or walked across even though the crossing is very busy. Any other Twin Cities RTTers experience that? On further reflection I'm pretty sure it was last year.
I don't recall that but the details all sound like they could be true. Each grade at our kids' elementary school does a field trip there once a month. I usually go with them 2-3 times per year. I'm never going again.
 
Taking the ACT today and only got 3 hours of sleep. This should be fun.
I took the ACT on only 3 hours of sleep and I think I had the second highest ACT in my class. The kid that got the highest score was suspended for blowing up a toilet in the high school during his senior year. He also developed some pretty serious substance abuse issues. I hope he turned out OK but he certainly set himself back quite a bit.

If we solicit for a contract worth more the $100,000 we need to be sure that we advertise in fedbizopps.gov. That's probably the replacement for CBD.
 
Made it to Parks Library today and found a couple books the 8th grader could use in her report. As an alumni association member you can buy a lifetime library card for $5. Kinda stressed her out seeing all the students studying. ;)

Stayed on campus to take some pictures, along with 2 weddings, an engagement shoot, senior picture shoot, some type of graduation, and about 7 family photo shoots. Did see the lecustic squirrel, so that was fun.

That's right. It had already transitioned to that before I retired.
 
The family volunteered at the 5K today. The organizers originally planned for about 150 runners and ended up with about 2,000. If you are familiar with the messages the Wetterling family has been delivering, you'll find this next tidbit to be pretty amazing. The family crossed the finish line at 11:11. I don't think there was a dry eye when the family patriarch announced this during his thank you speech.

not as much singing today Pants. VOC is kindof a lie to Sherwin Williams, it appears and I was coughing a bit. Yes, we turned on fan and opened window.
 
I was searching the Parks Library to see if they had some books on Civil War prison camps. The oldest is doing a report for school and the public library didn't have specific books. As soon as I finish looking online, my phone rings and it is ISU Wants Money. They're watching . . . .always watching.

The answer is Cyclone Erik. Have him tutor her on that paper it will be A++++++++++++.

Beloit Memorial, who hasn't won in 3 years, won a game last night. It wasn't playoffs, just a scheduled game against another team without a win this season. I guess the $400,000+ they've paid their coach over the last 4 years finally paid off.

Holy cats, that is a Texas sized HS coaching salary. I hope everything else is pretty nice at that school if they are spending that kind of money on a FB coach.

It's an old school, needs some renovating. I've only ever seen the gym so I can't say much about it. Football field looks nice from satellite though. I bet their daycare facility is nice too.
