I was asking myself the other day, “How do farmers meet?”. I found my answer today thanks to Great Moments In Commercial History. I also confirmed my thoughts that all horses sound like Mr. Ed.

My Neighbor At The Minnesota State Fair
September 4, 2008 By 2 Comments
My neighbor Tom was at the Minnesota State Fair last Saturday (as were Jen, Jake and myself) and he got stopped by a Fox News reporter that was basically pointing out what kind of freaks live in Minnesota. Check out the video below. He is the one with the white Maui shirt on and backward baseball cap.
High Bridge Power Plant Smokestack goes BOOM!
June 28, 2008 By 3 Comments
I found out this week from some folks at work that the nearly 600 foot tall smoke stack near my office was going to be demolished this morning. Great photo/video opportunity for myself and Jake! We woke up earlier than normal and trekked over to St. Paul. There were tons of people there. We were fortunate enough to get a spot on Cliff Road directly across from the old coal burning plant.
At 7:30 with no siren warning that anyone around me heard, a small explosion occurred at the base. The plan was for the tower to topple on a series of dirt mounds that would cushion the fall and break the material up more easily. The missed their target “by that much”, but the worst of it was some debris that shot across Shepard Road (which was closed).
I shot a little over 110 images during the fall sequence (thank you Canon 40D!). You can enjoy the photos up on my Flickr account or click on the YouTube video below.
