plans for the afternoon were to go into minneapolis on the light rail and attend a book fair at a micro-brewery. when i arrived i saw a long line to get in, and said i like books, but not THAT much. even said so to a college roommate, when i sent a text on the way home. it was just a few blocks straight north of the twins baseball stadium from the light rail stop. on the way there i saw a holiday gas station so i decided to get lunch there. it was mostly heat-lamp items, but it works for me. this was crispy chicken tender-stix, hash browns, and a small apple pie. i didn't feel like waiting until i got to the food truck that was in front of the brewery. i was still interested in looking at books, somewhere. this meant going to a half price books, where there was no waiting in line to get inside. when it is the middle of winter, who wants to be waiting outside for long? i found a big baseball reference book, 'more than 150 years'. i also bought five movies on DVD in their clearance section, all found on the lower level of the store. before i got on the train i went to the post office, two orders were picked up. when i got back from the book shop, i watched some of the football playoff game on TV. texans beat the chargers, aided by four interceptions. in the evening it was college basketball, the iowa men were playing indiana and iowa won big. during my walks i found 56 cents.
