Friday June 28, 2013  Misheard radio news:  Minnesota is cracking down on drunken voters.  Actually, drunken boaters.

Meanwhile, there's no law here against biking while intoxicated.  And there are bicycle (actually, ten-wheeler) beer pubs, with the patrons pedaling, in Minneapolis.

***Figured out a new reason for travel to alternate worlds -- bird-watching.  Beginning with passenger pigeons and other easy-to-find birds, then ones which never evolved in our past.

***Came home, realized I didn't have my keys with me.  First time in a while this had happened.

***The Canadian news program "As It Happens" had something new to say about a US news story.  A girl who was on a Christian high school's football team was removed lest she inspire impure thoughts in her male teammates.  (I haven't yet learned what denomination the school is associated with -- after looking at the school's website, among other sources.)

The journalist interviewing the girl and her mother asked whether there were cheerleaders at the team's games.  Yes; dressed rather more provocatively than football players.
