Minnesota can breathe a sigh of relief now

My wife and I just returned from a road trip to the Twin Cities Wednesday.

While there, we visited the Mall of America (second time for me). We also experienced Underwater Adventures, an aquarium attraction at MOA.

We stayed out in Eden Prairie and accidentally drove past the Vi-Queens Headquarters. I joked that we should've driven right through the glass doors on a kamikaze mission (we didn't).

The TV stations there were Favre this or Favre that.

Crew uses instant replay, wins again...

The Milwaukee Brewers needed instant replay to help reverse a game deflating home run by the Florida Marlins on Wednesday. This game was one that would've been delayed if still played at County Stadium as severe storms kept pounding Brew City. But alas, the Crew was able to hang on and win. Final score was 8-6. Gonna try for a sweep again Thursday at 12:05PM CDT.
