oakland cemetery tour

 this morning i did a meetup event, a cemetery tour, oakland in st. paul. it is a tour of minnesota history, in this case the tour guide wanted to highlight the US-Dakota war of 1862 as many of those involved with it are buried there. i was given a handout at the start of the event, first page has the dates of the war in it. along with various maps and pictures and writings about those involved. another handout was given out at the end, a single page, by someone else, about the young people who died in the war. there was one dude there who kept usurping the tour guide, then later spoke of writing a book, although i think unrelated to the subject of the tour, and then said he was presenting it online. i was recognized there by somebody from another meetup event, probably the july 4th picnic. i had to check what i did on memorial day and didn't do any events that day. i picked up two orders from the post office before the tour, which finished just after 12noon. it started raining shortly after i left the cemetery. then i went home to have lunch, a pot pie. i laid down for a little while and when i got up i went to jc penney in roseville and got a shirt for the office. it was from the shaquille o'neal line, in the discount section. also got a pair of socks, used two gift cards to knock down the final price. i got a blizzard treat at dairy queen as well. then it was home again, and over to the aldi for my weekly grocery order. i had dinner, red baron pizza, while online doing an interview for a friend's twitch show. i decided not to try logging back on when the thunderstorm happened, which must have knocked me offline. i had been on for over two hours by then. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 16 cents. also in the afternoon while laying down i was reviewing text messages and dialed the retired postal worker by mistake. so we still talked for a few minutes, and he spoke of going to ren-fest sometime soon.
