Random Thoughts XII - This Thread Delivers

[NWICY]

For those of you who know Fort Dodge - @Angie, @jcyclonee, @NWICY, et al - two long-time landmarks are slated for desertion. I have plans for a new $12M Catholic church on my desk, which will replace Sacred Heart and Corpus Christi churches, both of which are wonderful examples of church architecture. (Corpus Christi is on the list of national landmarks, I believe.) Many Catholics I know here are disappointed, if not disgusted.....but the sad truth is that the church is suffering from a crucial lack of clergy. Every single Catholic church in the county has been abandoned, except the two in FD. But this is a trend I see in all denominations.

12 million is a lot of money. For some reason I doubt if it well be as nice of church as what they've got.

I kind of wonder how long the church I grew up in will remain open, declining congregation and declining members with deep pockets and the willingness to make up the shortfalls.

Cops live is on. Has this house surrounded. Police back up and pull guns. This woman walks up and stands by the house and just watches.

Another person killed by Minneapolis cops tonight. Don’t know the situation, but with the tensions already from before, I can’t imagine it will get better after this.

Did you get rain this morning to? No bike ride for me because of thunder 20 minutes later downpour. I'll check my gauge later, it really wasn't needed though.

I absolutely love campy, cheesy, Syfy channel horror movies, but I think it’s time to put that franchise to bed.

About ready to post my alumni ride cancellation on our FB page, "chance" is down to 30% but includes heavy rain and lightning. Looking at radar and don't see how what's west of us isn't more like 90% for Twin Cities by mid-afternoon. This was supposed to be a casual ice cream and beer casual ride in the sun, not a mudder on a gravel trail dodging lightning strikes.

My weather curse is compounded when I invite others.

Well, their philosophy is "This ain't nothin' a hail of 9mm bullets can't fix!"

Just make it a casual beer ride from bar to bar. Or have everyone bring a twelver, and pull a revenge of the nerds type thing. Chug a beer, ride a lap, and repeat.

My brother and I have been doing a tradition of taking our Dad out to a movie and dinner for Father's Day. Last week my brother was at a wedding so we treated our Dad today. We went to the newest Jurassic World movie today. Solid movie but would say the previous one was better. This one though delivered on almost every emotion one could experience at a movie.
