-------------------------------------------------- REMINDER: Only 2 Posts Per Day Per Person -------------------------------------------------- Hi All!
It's always fun to get Driscoll's goat to the point that he makes, um, personal "responses" on-list: I'm a big boy (too big for my health, I'm afraid -- second-hand smoke is the least of MY worries) and I respectfully accept Andy's arguments. But this shot really smoked me, to whit:: "Back to Kuettel's post (he lives elsewhere anyway)" OUCH!!!! What are your St Paul Props, Andy? I was born at Miller, baptized at St Lukes, confessed, communicanted and was confirmed at St. Mark's, married Laura and baptized my three kids at St. Agnes, to which we still belong. Oh and there was Cretin and St. Thomas. I even had the Last Rites at St Joe's but I pulled through just to be a burr under your saddle. When the burr is removed, it will be planted at Calvary. And I've got two sons at Cretin and a Derham Dollie on the way in a couple of years. When I moved to far distant Falcon Heights, all of 4 blocks north of Como Park, my heart stayed behind. Which is why I participate in this forum. When St Paul sneezes, Falcon Heights catches pneumonia. Say and think of me what you will, I am and always will be a St Paul Boy. Back to Driscoll's post (he lives on Crocus Hill) I dare say my neighborhood is more like an "average" neighborhood than the tony bluff from which Andy looks down on our sordid world. All posted in fun, really! I like all of my St Paul List Friends, although Thune has changed now that he's got the reins back on some power. To clarify my position, I wouldn't mind at all if St Paul banned smoking in bars and restaurants. But unless surrounding communities go along, it is bound to have a serious impact...maybe short-term, but just long enough to put some good folks out of business. If Thune is buying, I would be happy to share an adult beverage with him at Mancini's on the day the ban goes into effect (which is never, if I were to predict) Of course, Hell COULD freeze over eventually, and likely will. But not soon. Cheers!
