Bill Murray Shirt At Saints Game

   Tonight I went to the St. Paul Saints game, it was a giveaway event. I showed up much earlier than typical for this reason, as I wanted the Bill Murray shirt. He is shown wearing a Saints hat on it. The sponsors on the back are Walser Automotive Group and 45-TV. Since I arrived before the gates opened I was there fairly early, and walked around a lot before the game. I did get food and drink, a jumbo hot dog and some bottled water. I also got an ice cream sandwich after I was done with the hot dog. Midway through the game I got a bag of peanuts, and I finished half of them at the game. The Saints beat the Sioux City Explorers 4-3. The Saints scored single runs in innings 1,4,5, and 7. Sioux City tied it in the 3rd on a solo home run, and got two more in the 9th. They loaded the bases but a strikeout ended it. I got 19 pictures today, and most were at the Saints stadium. Two were at the Roseville library, a kickoff of their summer reading program. I got one of a guitar player at the library. Later on there were two in pirate costumes, I joked about Pittsburgh Pirates but knew full well it was Pirates of the Caribbean. While waiting in line there was plenty about the movie 'Ghostbusters', as the shirt giveaway was about celebrating the 30th anniversary of this movie. I saw a blowup doll of the Marshmallow Man, and there were three cars. Two of them were station wagons, but the third did look like a Cadillac hearse like in the movie. Some were dressed in Ghostbuster costumes. A lady World War Two veteran was honored, she was on the field during the singing of the national anthem.
   I got plenty of errand running done before the game. It started with taking change to the bank, and the total, just over seven dollars, was deposited in savings. On to the Goodwill in Roseville, where I found some photo frames and some good used books. There was five books, and one of them was Fast Food Nation, which later became a movie. After the library I went to the Twins pro shop, and got a small all-star game pennant. I found one of the employees there to be annoying. I got home and rested, then got groceries. I knew some of the errand running could wait until Sunday. There is not much left aside from doing laundry and going to Walgreen to get pictures on a CD. I should be able to find the time to watch a movie on loan from the library as well.
