Spring Break!

Today I finished my last papers before spring break thank goodness. Now I'm off for a week but I feel like I have plenty to do during that time. Oh well.

It's definitely spring here and today I took advantage of it again with a walk at Minnehaha Falls and along the river. The picture is of the falls obviously. There is still a lot of ice but the water is rushing too. They have a new photo displayed there from the 60's when President Lyndon Johnson visited along with Vice President Humphrey and Governor Rolvaag. It states that there was actually a drought and they had to unleash the water from fire hydrants further up the creek so that the water would flow. Kind of interesting. I don't know that they would do that today. There would be a lot of bad press for wasting resources to create the photo op.

The Twins won again today after a few losses. They are doing pretty well during spring training so far. Hopefully they can put together a winning record this season. There's been some interesting press lately about Pat Neshek's diet. He's been almost a vegetarian for a long time and now he's made the leap to vegan. His wife has been vegan for a long time. He has a little bit about it on his blog (www.patneshek.com) but basically says it's no big deal and the media are blowing it out of proportion. It would be interesting to find out how many professional athletes are vegetarian or vegan.

I have the local news on and this now answers the question of whether anything can be worse than the national news.... The reporter literally just put words in the interviewee's mouth. When she wasn't talking fast enough, she interrupted her to finish her sentence! That's not reporting!!! Painful... Oh well, have a great day!
