Simulated Combat Exhibit

The theater guy spoke of a simulated combat exhibit at work earlier today. He was referring to knife or sword fighting. I had seen him do some of this at the Renaissance Festival recently, sounds like he will get another chance at this at another venue. He also spoke of having plenty of bones dislocated in his body, but none of them have been broken. Something about having loose tendons has helped in this area.
   I went to another high school football game tonight, in North St. Paul. The school was playing their homecoming against Mahtomedi, but the home team lost big 47-21. It was 26-0 after one quarter. The road team had no problem passing the ball, and one TD was set up by a fumble recovery across midfield. A short field tends to help. North St. Paul got a few TDs late, aided by a speedy tailback. He was also used as a kick returner, and had less of a problem against the second unit apparently. I wanted popcorn but it was going to be a long wait at halftime, got nachos instead. Things cost just slightly more than last week, it was $6 for the game ticket. A slice of pizza, some blue Gatorade, and a cookie was just $3.50 for me, the nachos was $2.
 I got an ice cream sandwich at the Holiday station after the game, which can be seen from one corner of the stadium. Also over there is the town's famous landmark, the snowman, which I know had its own Facebook page.
   I spoke with some young people at the game who wore shirts saying they were with a political campaign for a U.S. congressman, nice how we were able to speak about most anything but politics.
