Pretty soon there will be a little train running back and forth in Minneapolis. The first few days will be a free-for-all. Much like when a new Chipotle opens. People line up out the door and around the block.

I’m assuming that the Grand Opening of the Light Rail will be something along these lines. Lots of people, looking for a better way to get around town.

You’ll find me at the Minnehaha Parkway stop, June 26th. It’ll be a historic day.

I received a speeding ticket yeseterday. Always a fun time, sitting on the side of the road while the officer writes you up for breaking the law.

I would like to propose a national drive the speed limit week. Everyone will drive the speed limit, and the police departments will crumble under financial duress without all the revenue from speeding tickets.

Ah, well, that will never go over. And I don’t really want to see reduced capacity for law enforcement.

I guess I don’t have a solution. Drive a bit slower maybe?

I have made a few changes…

I was wondering aloud about upgrading to MT 3.0 when it was released, however, instead of doing that, I thought what the heck, why not try WordPress?

So here I am. And so far, I like it. Obviously the design of the site is now a bit, well, default but, I’ll get it updated soon enough.

I didn’t even attempt to somehow redirect all my old MT URLs to new links… as you can see, all my posts made it over fine, and the images should work as well, but if you have an old link to some post of mine sitting around… it will not work anymore! Sorry!

Honestly, it’s been raining for about a month straight!

Memorial Day has come and gone, I was up at the cabin for about 26 hours, which is not nearly enough time to settle in and enjoy, but enough time to say hi to some family that I haven’t seen in a while.

It used to be tradition to jump in the lake on Memorial Day. It was supposed to mark the beginning of summer, or at least that the long warm days and nights of summer were just around the corner.

There was absolutely no way I was getting in the lake this year. I had pretty much sealed that decision before I even arrived. The leaves on the trees still looked pretty thin and cold. Unsure about whether it was time to appear or if more chilly days were around the corner. When the leaves look more like April than May, you know it’s not a good tiime to jump in the lake.

As it turned out, the lake was 62 degrees. not so cold that I couldn’t have jumped in, had I wanted to. But still pretty dang cold.

So another Memorial Day has come and gone. We’re all back at work and school now, myself looking out at the rain and wondering when summer is really going to make an appearance. Hopefully soon…

Mini Update (6/2/04 @ 4:46PM) – In the process of upgrading this site, I was looking back at some of my old posts, and about 9 months ago to the day I was whining about how it hadn’t rained in a month. I guess the grass is always greener.
