I did laundry earlier today, noticed how another dryer was and wasn't running. The time wasn't going down from 48 minutes, and mine finished before his. He showed up and swore about it, then pressed a few buttons and it was finally running properly.
The plans called for seeing a St. Paul Saints game against Gary in the evening, but it started raining not long after we arrived at the stadium. The game was called off at about 8pm, an hour after the scheduled start time. We still got the giveaway, the 'dude slippers', honoring the movie 'Big Lebowski'. So now we must figure out when to use the rainchecks. Plenty of the songs played during the rain delay were about rain, like 'Set Fire to the Rain' by Adele, or 'Blame it on The Rain' by fraudsters Milli Vanilli. We thought of a few others, like 'Love a Rainy Night' by Eddie Rabbitt, or another one of his songs, 'Driving My Life Away' as it does have 'windshield wipers slapping out a tempo' in the lyrics. Then there's '100% Chance of Rain', had to look up the performer online- found out it was Gary Morris. Had to do the same with 'Wrong Side of Memphis' after being at friday's car show- since a 1969 Tempest was mentioned in the lyrics. It was by Trisha Yearwood. This was a Pontiac car that was a companion to the LeMans. But we saw a LeMans at the show and not a Tempest.
During one part of the rain delay, we were next to a concession stand where a young couple with two kids told us they had some bad luck with Saints games, all too often they were rained out when they try to attend a game.
This of course meant lining up alternate plans, my date and I decided to pick up a video at my place, the Charlie Brown series called 'This is America'. There were 2 more segments to watch, we got one of them watched tonight, about the Smithsonian and the Presidency. Most of the 4 Mount Rushmore presidents were covered, as expected.
It was also nice to get to the dog park in the afternoon, as my date's dog is able to run at full gallop there. The crowd was lighter than typical, with many staying away due to the rainstorm expected to arrive.
