Sven & Ole’s Grand Marais

A couple of years ago I went to my uncle’s funeral in Grand Marais. Morbid way to start a post, I know. Anyway, one of my cousins worked at a pizza place there called Sven & Ole’s. Good pizza too by the way. He gave me a bumper sticker for the place. It’s bright yellow and says “Sven & Ole’s Grand Marais” on it.

Maybe you’re thinking, “I’ve seen one of those bumper stickers.” I see them all the time. In fact, I’m fairly confident I see them weekly. What blows my mind is that of all the bumper stickers in the world, I very rarely see duplicates. Unless of course there’s an election coming up. Why is it that I see these bumper stickers all the time?? Who are all these people that go to a pizza restaurant in Grand Marais, then put the restaurant’s ugly yellow bumper sticker on their vehicle??

I’ve been meaning to start keeping track of when I see them. I decided to start a Sven & Ole category so I could do just that in a nice paperless sort of way. You probably think that’s boring, but too bad. Go get your own blog if you don’t like my content.

S&O Sticker #1
Hwy 65 in Blaine
Sticker was in the drivers side back window of either an SUV or a topper of a pickup truck… I can’t remember because I was thinking of how shocked I was to see another one of those damn things.

Game 2

The Beez won their second game of the season 17-10 against the Raiders. They were off to a shakey start, but pulled it together during the 3rd inning. The downpour came during the 5th. Fortunately they were able to finish the first game, but the second was rained out before it even began. And that pretty much foreshadows the rest of the season. Go Beez!!

Unfortunately Chay broke his finger in the first inning. Woops. Nothing says ecstasy quite like a bone sticking through your skin. Get better soon Chay!!

jillapaPhotos 2

83My photo gallery is officially better than Nicks. Does he have pictures of Justin Timberlake and Pink? No. Do I? Yes. Sorry the photos look a little (a lot) crappy. They were taken on my phone. I was too chicken to bring my camera because the tickets said they weren’t allowed and we were in the VIP section so figured I could easily be caught. Turns out cameras were allowed and I missed half the concert fiddling around with my stupid camera phone that took horrendously crappy pictures anyway. I’m adding them to the jillapaPhoto gallery out of spite. Lesson learned.

Coming soon- Christina Aguilera & Pussycat Dolls concert photos. Slightly better, but still crappy.

Smells Like Rain

It smells like rain, so it must be Monday. Everyone cross your fingers and hope for no rain!! Sure it’s a 50% chance of rain. Fifty-schmifty. The forecast also uses words like “scattered” and “isolated.” I’ve already pulled my 6′ golf umbrella out of the closet for tonight. Being prepared is halfway to prevention. We don’t want to be playing 3 games a night in the bitter cold to make up for rain-outs again this year.
