I think that's a saw-whet owl; they're the smallest owl in eastern North America. Absolutely adorable! I really appreciate it. How odd that I'd just read a wonderful article about them today in my October edition of Ohio magazine! I think you read my mind.<BR/><BR/>Loved the links. Never heard of glair, endue or benu.

Smooth sailing now. Now that the bridge is open again in Delano, getting to the cities is easy again. How boneheaded for the state to work on Hwy 12 and Hwy 7 at the same time! I find that the longer I have lived out here though, the less I need to go into the cities. I work in Rogers and if you haven't been there in a while it would blow you away. There's everything there now including Cabelas, Target, Cub, Lowes, and lots of restaurants. So if I need to make a Target run or whatever, I just do it on my lunch hour.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901963533031920633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-90019458814006316912008-09-26T18:50:00.000-05:002008-09-26T18:50:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday Dennis!Happy Birthday Dennis!g8rmomx2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15218914530772474138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-34933702129999081042008-09-26T18:49:00.000-05:002008-09-26T18:49:00.000-05:00one more thing gang dennis re. your 5:49 post ...one more thing gang <BR/><BR/>dennis re. your 5:49 post about Johnny Appleseed. <BR/> Wondering if anonymous at 7:36 is my second x-wife, cause she used to say somthing about some place underground freezing before I could attempt that. <BR/><BR/><BR/>WHOOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-70353289593745028082008-09-26T18:30:00.000-05:002008-09-26T18:30:00.000-05:00P.P.S.

RE 3.2 licenseMinnesota has more...HI EVERYONE<BR/><BR/>C.C. RE 3.2 license<BR/>Minnesota has more then one level of liquior license. a general license lets you sell any alcohol as long as it is less then 140 proof, IE. 70% alcohol.<BR/>A 3.2 liesense is for selling alcohol of 3.2% or less by volume, also know as "non intoxicating malt liquor" A much cheaper license and cheaper liabilty insurance. It was used mostly by pool halls and small bars where the municipality controlled the sale of booze. As in a city owned on and off sale liquior store. <BR/>To prevent competition the city fathers would only allow 3.2 licenses to private places.<BR/><BR/>Now as far as the "non intoxicating malt liquior" tag goes. Well, as one whao used to compete in many a softball tournament and " went for the beer trophy" I can tell you that it IS intoxicating L O L . Many people swear that 3.2 beer gives you a much worse hangover. Hence the term "3.2 blues" WHEW! I didn,t know I could talk that long R O F L L M B O <BR/><BR/>Incidently, before you ask, the beer trophy is a sales gimmick that the sponsering org. of the tournement uses to increase it's sales of beer. A huge cheap impressive tropy is given to the team that drinks the most beer. A huge hit for teams that lose out in their first two games. They can go home with the pride of winning the beer trophy!<BR/><BR/>@ cokato NO NO Buffalo Lake 56304 ! Not the lake by Buffalo (zip code 56303) called Buffalo Lake.
