hamm's beer bear

met the hamm's beer bear at a st. paul bar tonight, called skinner's. got a photo with the mascot, and a baseball-type card as well. the bar was crowded, as so many people wanted a picture with the bear. i said 'worth it!' as i was leaving the bar, as an opportunity like this one doesn't happen too often. i found mention of it in a city pages email, as i get a regular email from them. thankful i read this one, as i don't read all of them.
   I went to an open-mic in the evening, after watching 'big bang theory' and 'young sheldon'. i spoke of this event, along with ones about comment in Arabic, grocery store bags, and the lady at the karaoke bar.
   i did a notable thing this morning, and that was calling my cell phone provider. recently i had been getting messages saying i was running out of minutes on my plan, or had run out of minutes, and would get overage charges. i found out it was no big deal to switch to a different plan, and it wouldn't cost much more for the base plan, just a penny more per month. my original plan, which i have had for more than 8 years, is no longer available. i knew the billing cycle was ending soon, so i decided that today needed to be the day to call about it. i was reminded of how i don't like having to call for customer service too often, as i was on hold for a while before i got somebody with a pulse.
  another notable thing was picking up a package from a UPS store in the afternoon. i had ordered two pinstripe bowl items from the iowa hawk shop- a button and a shirt- and i didn't want it left in front of the door to my home. much like having a PO box, i like having it left at a secure location where i can pick it up when i have the time.
