I read some more back issues of the paper and read the month of August tonight. There was one Friday paper I didn't get that month as I was out of town at a writer's convention in Chicago. Heritage Square at the state fairgrounds is to become a transit hub. Valerie Harper is filming a TV-movie in Canada. A quote was removed from the Martin Luther King statue. The pedal pub rolled over, and two people were hospitalized. There was a cartoon about Vikings owner Zygi Wilf''s fraud and racketeering case red flag, in reference to the planned new stadium. The TV show 'Duck Dynasty' made cable history, and an editorial said democracy is off the table in Egypt. The 'Last Supper' play opened, from the 'Church Basement Ladies' series. The Wilfs await the price they must pay, defrauding partners of profits from an apartment complex. One photo in the editorial section showed somebody holding up a sign, it said 'Dear free world: enjoy watching us burn'. It was about a chemical weapons attack on suburbs of Damascus, Syria. Governor Mark Dayton saw a 'Last window' for the orchestra labor dispute. He weighed in on it publicly, and pushed for George Mitchell as mediator. Kellogg stands for peace, not cereal. It is about how Kellogg Road in St. Paul was named for a co-author of the Kellogg-Briand pact from 1928, an antiwar piece of legislation. There was an anniversary event. The orchestra's board takes their case to the public. A painter seeks asylum in France after painting Vladimir Putin in women's underwear.
Then there is the funny columnist. He wrote about Twinkies stuffed with cigarettes, in reference to a proposal to have the city take over utilities and grocery stores. Then there was 35 candidates for mayor of Minneapolis, why aren't there even more? The next two were about the state fair. The best new thing at the fair may be the most basic thing of all. There was mention of a 'Slaughterhouse runoff smoothie'. He said the best new thing was the restrooms. I also liked mention of the Fine Arts pavilion, where you can holler your approval or disdain at the art unlike at a museum. Finally, there is the fair. It is where wretched heat and bad music and iffy food still equals bliss. There was also mention of signing up for a water softener and getting junk mail for the next 10 years.
I did watch two episodes of 'Big Bang Theory' tonight. The syndicated rerun was the one where Sheldon breaks up with Amy and then copes by getting plenty of cats. His mom shows up and uses reverse psychology, and he starts dating Amy again. The prime time episode was about Leonard getting a new table for the apartment and Sheldon doesn't approve. He goes to break up with Amy, who claims Leonard is manipulating him. Then eventually they are back at the same table, since Sheldon and Amy were the holdouts on the new table.
