Today marks my first visit to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival for a wedding. I can't wait to see how this turns out. Hopefully there will be something to blog about tonight.
Not knowing much about this event, I checked out their web site. Their weapons policy amused me. "Axes, Claymores & Maces – Are strongly discouraged but if you insist Axes must be sheathed and peace-tied." Really they should make every business establishment in Minnesota post their axe, claymore & mace policy in addition to their concealed handgun policy.

The BBC reports that "There are now more overweight people across the world than hungry ones".
Does this mean there be heart wrenching appeals for help, featuring Sally Struthers walking around the midwest showing the obese people waddling around at the county fairs. "For just $10 a day you'l be able to deny them the hamburger they had been stuffing their face with." (This is actually how I lost the weight. A small village in a developing country pooled their money and decided to sponsor a chubby midwesterner.)
There seems to be a rash of restaurant names that use numeric designations instead of honest names.
The 112 Eatery, Five, 20.21 & the 128 Cafe all come to mind.
I predict that he next great leap forward in restaurant naming will be to start using an IP address for the restaurant.
"Where are you going to eat tonight?"
"We're going out for a night on the town at 192.28.43.101 followed by dessert at 127.0.0.1." P.S. I've had good meals at all the numbered restaurants listed above, so maybe I shouldn't kvetch about the naming convention so much.
