I can't speak to the ice out issue directly. I wasn't there. My predicted date has yet to arrive, which is fine because I ultimately did not want to win (I hate to think of the responsibility that comes with winning such a contest� ribbon cuttings (how many on Block E alone?!), radio appearances, donating chewed gum for memorabilia auctions, having your likeness carved in butter, and so forth). However, I have inside scoop on the weather difference. Actually, the reason it is warmer in St. Paul than Mpls is not the addition of ice to Lakes Calhoun and Harriet, but rather, an aide of hizzoner Randy Kelly has been paid to hold a lit punk to the official St. Paul thermostat just before the top of each hour in an effort to increase the official St. Paul temperature� proving that St. Paul is the superior weather Twin City� and thus providing one more reason why it is the better place for a new open air Twins' ballpark. On a side note, rumor has it that Killians will not be served at a St. Paul ballyard, but Schell's Pilsner and Pete's Wicked Ale (where's Buckhorn when you really need it?) will actually be available in individual "honor bars" (in the club seating areas), along with Old Dutch caramel corn and Mr. D's ribs. richard carney NW side of St. Paul (where the official temperature at 3:30 is 104� F) _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
