water tower, historical marker

 there was plenty of things to do in the morning. i went to the DMV in inver grove heights and got the license plate renewals for my car. after it i decided to find a historical marker next to a water tower. i had heard about it on the news, on fox-9. it was just up the road a little from the strip-mall i was at. it marks the site of a military plane crash in 1958. i got a picture of the marker and went up to walk around the water tower as well. nothing of note up there, aside from a broken beer bottle so evidence that others had been there. three pennies left at the marker. i loved the view from the base of the water tower, it was of the road i had taken to get most of the way there, route 52. i got a picture of the road signs directing motorists to either minneapolis or st. paul, then i went down to the marker and i left. i picked up two orders from the post office and printed two event tickets at the copy store. i had to move things up a little due to my plans for the afternoon, attending the st. paul saints baseball game. i stopped at a speedway gas station and got a big gulp and two slices of pizza. a little annoyed when the cashier said 'out of sandwiches' after i had already spoken that observation. then it was on to the stadium. i got the giveaway, a magnet schedule. saints were playing the iowa cubs. saints trailed early, 3-0, this included the long ball, a two-run home run. saints also got a two-run home run, then tied it 3-3, but still lost to the i-cubs, 4-3. i got some ice cream at the game, ate it quick as i know it can get soupy. after the game i got groceries at the aldi, and had a sandwich at jersey mike's. i ordered two more event tickets, one of them is for a saints game in may. i watched some of the spring football game on fox, birmingham beat memphis. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 34 cents. during my errand running i got a can of craft brew at the liquor store near me, a pryes pragmatic, so now four beers are waiting.
