after work tonight i went to a fish fry at an american legion, same place i had been to last year. decided it was best to go there on the night i was going to the wolves game vs. miami. i was given some tomatoes from a potluck at work and ate half of them, left the others in a container at the fish fry. good food for just $8.50, and I got 3 peanut butter cookies for 50 cents. no big deal how i had ice water as the drink, unsure what else they had and i don't have coffee much. it was a reminder of the american legion in my hometown, since it was near the football stadium and there was usually some events during the season to take advantage of the crowds like a chili supper.
also given to me at the potluck: ketchup and mustard bottles. i can get some use out of those. looks like the type for commercial use, for restaurants. was told these items would otherwise be thrown away, since there is a refrigerator cleaner that comes through each week, at 5 p.m. on friday.
the wolves made it close for a while, leading 52-51 at the half, but came out flat in the second half against the miami heat and lost 111-92. plenty of finesse and slam dunks. i was familiar with how there is a rap song that mentions lebron james and dewayne wade, but i think it was written when they played for different teams. it was my third game of the season, guess i wanted to see if this team was for real and they seem to be. most i had done before was 2, and some years just 1. i did get a souvenir there, 2 postcards of the target center for $1.
i bought 2 papers at lunchtime to read about the closing of Porky's restaurant, it was on the front page of the St. Paul paper and made the Minneapolis paper as well. in the latter paper the headline was 'that's all, folks'. seemed appropriate, since the line is a reference to Porky Pig and the Warner/Loony Tunes cartoons. some writers sure know what to write. there is talk of saving it and getting historic preservation status, but it may be too little and too late. considering the long line on thursday, it's just as well i went when i did.
