Yes, I know this was three days ago now, but I just got to Rochester and I’m killing some time in Caribou and finally have some down time to get to some backlogged items. Plus, I feel like I still have goosebumps from Tuesday anyway…
The image to the right was sent in by a loyal reader; that’s the line that was outside the Excel center on Tuesday night! How amazing is that? The reader who sent it in was one of the very last people who got into the Excel center so he was up in the nosebleeds (very top) and he still had to stand because there were no seats left!
There’s another reader submission below the fold; a proposed bumper sticker for the more elder of the Presidential candidates. It’s a bit silly, but it’s all in good fun and it does provide a chuckle.



It’s 24 blocks depending on how you count it. How many blocks is a mile generally?
Minnesota Public Radio had a nice article about the line to get into Obama’s speech on Tuesday night, with a slightly different map; they said it was 1.7 miles long. The article has a picture of each block along the way to find the end of the line.
Xcel Center. Not Excel Center.
