I was looking out the window and saw someone walking outside have one giant sneeze. Their hands were full, so they didn't cover their nose, and since they were outside and I was inside I didn't hear the sneeze. This, by the way, was hilarious. It looked like they were just walking through the parking lot and then decided to do one solid rockin' headbang! (I'm walking... I'm walking... I'M ROCKING!!! I'm walking...). If I ever go deaf, this would be my silver lining.

Cement Trucks and Marriage Proposals... This is Twins Territory

I drove home for lunch today and a big cement truck was following me. It was all new and shiny, painted in blue and red, and the spinning cement mixer part of it was painted like a baseball, with seems on it and a Twins logo. It looked pretty sweet because as the mixer part was spinning it looked like a giant rotating baseball was following me (or "tailing" me).

So I was driving down 169 being chased by a 60-mph tailing fastball. (60mph tailing fastball?! Was Jesse Crain driving? Hi-oooo!)

On Monday I went to the Twins game with my pal, Jeff. He said, "Sure is a perfect night for outdoor baseball!" Sigh. A little over 7 months away from Opening Day, 2010.

At the game there was a wedding proposal on the big screen. I've been to 9 Twins games this year, and have seen marriage proposals at 3 of them (All of them said "Yes", by the way). Is there a less creative way to propose than at a sporting event? If you're going to do it at the Dome, at least bribe the proper people to make sure your row is also the Hormel hot dog "Row of Fame", and get them to put the ring in her hot dog wrapper. Everyone at the game would sing the Hormal "Row of Fame" song, you'd be on the video board getting your hot dogs, and then just keep them up on the video board and jump into the down-on-one-knee procedure. C'Mon!

Summer Frisbee season has wound down, so you probably won't have to wait a month and a half between blog posts. Go Twins!
