i looked at the class page on Facebook for the first time in a while. there is plenty of news about my hometown there. one of those postings was about the fire that destroyed the moose lodge in April. now i am surprised that no one spoke of it when i was back for a family gathering that month in Iowa. i think both of my parents were members of that lodge and my stepdad's friend was a bartender there. for this reason, i did spend some time there. one time it was for a family picture when i was in junior high, as i recall the photographer spoke of what my braces would look like in the picture. first time i did a New Year's Eve party after reaching legal age was there. according to the postings found on the lodge's page there are plans to rebuild. the lodge is at the edge of town. i didn't mind having very little to do for the day, it meant giving my car the day off as i had nowhere i needed to be. i decided to get caught up on a few things such as greeting cards bought in recent months were put into photo albums. and i ran the paper shredder as there was enough junk mail to shred to fill a plastic grocery bag. i watched some TV as well as two football games were on, the united football league. it is playoff time. Michigan beat Birmingham and D.C. beat St. Louis, the road teams won both games. decent crowd in St. Louis, but it appeared to be sparse in Birmingham. the future of this league still looks cloudy when the game attendance and TV ratings are low. there are even rumors of moving two teams with low attendance. during my walks i found 7 cents.
