Aunt to 2 girls & 2 boys. Love all things Minnesota, Zags hoops, tennis, Olympic/Paralympic sports, alma maters Bethel & Minnehaha, Sarasota, NASA, Disney & puppies of all ages. I once got to watch an amazing space shuttle launch from KSC.
I was there! I swear, I really was, with two guys that I work with. We were in the upper deck on left field, and a guy came running in from the concourse, and absolutely chucked (pun intended) a hot dog toward the field (not to be confused with the people throwing batteries).

Till I got to this. I feel much better after reading the whole explanation. I was beginning to think I hallucinated the 2nd heat 😂

So glad you wrote this! I am just starting the 3rd heat, and I was so freaking confused why Lochner was in 2nd, and then they mentioned that the 2nd heat was canceled, and I was even more confused, since I watched it. So I went to your feed, scrolled down to avoid spoilers, and then went backwards

I just finished watching the skeleton team competition & the 2-man & monobob. I had managed to avoid spoilers, and oh my gosh, that was so fun! Austin & Mystique getting gold was so exciting. Great job by Del Duca too. And Kaysha getting gold & Elana getting bronze is so freaking fun!

I think they are still good. Computers still love them. But it would be nice if they could be consistent the rest of the way, to close out conference play & the conference tourney.

I did not need to be reminded of that 😂

Yay for bronze! Gold would, of course, be awesome. But so is Bronze. Americans winning a medal in sliding sports is always cool.

This is nightmare fodder.

Bummer. I am catching up on what I missed while watching tennis, and was wondering what happened to the Sunday events that Martin kept talking about on Saturday (I had to intentionally skip your posts this weekend, to avoid spoilers). Bummed that St. Moritz is done now.

I did not know to follow her, but I do now. Thank you!

Or maybe not. I am thinking way too deeply about this. If said in a standard Minnesota accent, it is uff, but if said in a Scandinavian "Fargo" type accent, it is oof. I swear I am done responding to this now.

Oh, pronunciation is probably more like oof da though.

Uff da, at least for my 2nd generation Swedish-American grandparents (& my German heritage Grandma who took on all of my Grandpa's Norwegian traits).

So true. Also, because they are scared of him retaliating since there are no longer any guard rails. It is all so pathetic. But voters were dumb enough to either choose this, or stay home, which was as bad as voting for him.

I feel like they are very different types of misery. Lions were just so irrelevant for so long, like the Timberwolves were, while the Vikings were rarely irrelevant, and usually give fans hope, just before crashing back down. But they both definitely provided misery.
