Scaled-back smoking plan gets committee OK

From the Star Tribune:

Under Abeler's amendment, bars where less than 50 percent of revenues are generated by food sales and private clubs such as VFW halls and fraternal or civic organizations would not be affected by the ban. Cities or counties could pass their own ordinances for enacting and enforcing stricter bans if they chose.

Yippee! Free happy hour apps!

Bitter Cold 2005

It hardly seems possible, but every morning when I step outside to catch the bus, it's colder than the day before. I half expect to crack in half by Friday. Thank goodness for the deelish scarf my sister knitted for me or there'd be no good to winter whatsoever.

Yet again I have failed to plan a February getaway. How damned old do I have to get before I figure this out?
