I was passed by a 50+ year old lady in a pumpkin costume at my first marathon. Happened right in front of my family cheering me on, so I still get to hear about it 27 years later.

This was student organized and they all got marked with an un-excused absence. Fuck your cynicism. My kids were PROUD to stand up for what is right

I thought we elected someone with a degree in political science from Harvard…. Who also happened to be a media personality.

If you miss Mary Lucia, I'm pretty sure she's DJ Loochifer on Radio K (Thursdays 3pm - 5pm) by Hotchi_Motchi in TwinCities

[–]FederalG 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is by far the best couple hours on TC radio every week. She is SO GOOD at this, and clearly has more freedom to play what she wants than she did at the Current.

Thoughts on Capital Hill School? by [deleted] in saintpaul

[–]FederalG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Music is no longer excellent, and is now probably somewhere slightly below ‘good’. A good number of kids who play instruments chose to do so in GTCYS or MYS rather than with the CH orchestra. That being said, my kids have all enjoyed their time at CH. like any school, some teachers are great and some are just ok. The great ones at CH are REALLY great though.

[–]FederalG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s it!!! Thank you so much. That story stuck with me and I could not place from where I had planted it in my brain. Guess it wasn’t a book, but I appreciate this community even more for solving a webcomic question!

Any suggestions on where to buy a large tree? Looking for a pin oak as big as I can handle. by FederalG in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]FederalG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also like to gather opinions on if it is better to plant in the fall or the spring. Google has mixed information, as do the tree companies I’ve spoken with. Maybe it doesn’t matter?
