*I'm back from hiatus.
*I wanted to spend more time with my family.
*My new biggest pet peeve: People who attempt to enter an elevator before everyone has left it. I need to think of something to say to those people.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Alec in Hermosa.
*While Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes grab all the headlines, Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch has quietly gone about it's business as one of the most underrated cereals in the game today. Time to give the Cap'n his due. He runs a nice ship.
*Happy birthday to Dwight Yoakam.
*Yesterday, I met a 103 year old woman who bowls in Grafton. Her score was 82. She turns 104 in two weeks.
*If you ever appear on The Shark Tank, think twice about going out in the hallway to discuss a pending offer, because when you return the deal may be off the table.
*Tomorrow is a special day at The Tales. I will release my Top Five Concert Bucket List.
*Bonus shout out to D.C. Guy and Mrs. D.C. Guy on the birth of their son, Charles.

Random Thursday on a Tuesday
*Life is too short to use an electric shaver that doesn't work well.
*You could make an all-star team of ex-Minnesota Twins appearing in this year's playoffs.
*Cordarrelle Patterson is the best player on the Minnesota Vikings yet they refuse to get him the ball.
*I told you at the beginning of the baseball season the Twins would be awful. And they were. And I don't have any faith they will make the necessary additions to avoid yet another 90 loss season next year. Pretty soon, the fancy new baseball stadium will sit empty.
*Is it possible that Ray Lewis is on the payroll of the Baltimore Ravens at the exact same time he's on the ESPN payroll discussing the Ray Rice situation? That would be disturbing.
*Congrats to Muffy for being named one of the Grooviest Dogs in Grand Forks.
*Thank you to our very nice guests from the south. Please travel safely back to sunny Florida, although I don't think you can top our weather.
*Happy 65th to The Boss.
*It's hard to believe that the NHL is back on the ice.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Rain Man and Mrs. Rain Man on their move to the big city. Grand Forks' loss is Bloomington's gain. On an unrelated note, beer sales at Judy's just dropped 15%.

Random Thursday on a Saturday
*We're back!
*Thank you for all the well wishes during my well deserved time off.
*I think ex-Minnesota Twin Josh Willingham looks a lot like actor Chris Pratt.
*I also think if Josh Willingham had hit a few more RBI doubles for the Twins he'd still be a Twin.
*I used to have the nicest yard on the block. Now it looks like your average yard in Mogadishu.
*I'm concerned about the slow down of the construction at the Sweeto Burrito on Columbia in Grand Forks.
*But that concern is offset with the news of Spicy Pie coming to GF and currently scouting locations. You can bet on either downtown or on/near the UND campus.
*It's strange watching the Vikings play at the Gopher's stadium. I equate it to the place where Brett Favre was drilled.
*The Stephen guys are talking about playing some golf in an exotic location. Stay tuned.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Bill in Fort Collins.

*I hope the Twins don't do something stupid today like trade Kurt Suzuki.
*Well...I watched the first two seasons of House of Cards on Netflix. Officially hooked. And I did it in less than a week.
*Now that he's won two Stanley Cups, I wonder if Hockey Guy is finally deserving of a bobble head at the Ralph?
*Swung the wrenches in Warren on Friday. Not good. Good company though.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Heidi in Milbank.
*Bonus shout out to the Nelson Twins.
*Happy Birthday today to Summer Sidekick. He is truly putting together one of the most prolific summers ever.
*Vin Scully...thank you.
*Somebody asked me what my favorite item is at Zorbaz. The answer is: Pepperoni and Peanut Butter Pizza. I'm serious.
*I'm not sure how. I'm not sure when. And I'm not sure why, but the Minnesota Timberwolves will screw up the Kevin Love trade. Guaranteed.

*The low in Phoenix today is 91.
*I think Joan Rivers is funnier now than she's ever been.
*I recently made a trip to the Twin Cities with Hoosier Girl. During my stay I was approached by two panhandlers. One asked me for $22 and the other asked me for $6.
*Finally got my Zorbaz fix. Now I want more.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Summer Sidekick on the birth of Little Summer Sidekick.
*The NFL's two game suspension of Ray Rice for beating his girlfriend is embarrassing.
*Time for me to dig the wrenches out of storage and start swinging them.

Random Thursday on a Wednesday
*All airplanes should have free Wi-Fi and satellite television.
*The notion that Joe Mauer was a possible All-Star before his latest injury is laughable. The Twin Cities media who floated the idea know no boundaries in their shameless, misguided adoration.
*I saw Summer Sidekick in person on the Fourth of July. He seems to be doing well. It was nice to catch up with him. He says he and Mrs. SSK are expecting a child. Good thing I bumped into him.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Tommy in Michigan and Roger in Grand Forks.
*I think a Zorbaz in Grand Forks would do quite nicely.
*The Lynx are playing some good ball. I think.
*Deadliest Catch is still one of the best shows on television.
*Gutty effort by Brazil.
*Two of the umpires in the All-Star Game are from Minnesota and one is from North Dakota.
