Our friend Nabisco Joe (that's what we call him) dropped off the latest Oreo flavors to try.  The first was Blueberry Pie, followed by Salted Caramel.  They're only around for a limited time, so you better give them a shot soon.  Here's what we thought of the flavors.

There has been a vacant gas station at the corner of Arlington and Central Entrance for the last couple of years.  It used to be a BP gas station with a Sammy's Pizza location.

It wouldn't be the Great Minnesota Get Together without having a bunch of unique food to try.  This year looks even more interesting going beyond the traditional "fry up" anything approach.  There are some great foods that are now combined together, and some twists on some old favorites.

We decided to have a little fun, as Cathy loves doing her accents around the World.  She'll pull them out randomly during the show, so I thought this would be a good way to highlight her acting abilities.  We spin the wheel, it lands on a country, and she has to speak with that accent.

This isn't anything ground breaking or to make a big splash about, but I thought it was pretty strange.  Our panfish at our cabin have a tendency to nibble at anything.  That's including the end of my fishing rod.  I had accidentally let the tip hit the water when I first noticed it.  I felt a small strike.  I tried it again, and each time they did it.  They are little sunfish, and they are hungry!

Every Grandma's Marathon I help out with our sister station's broadcast of the race.  Listening to a marathon may sound a little strange, but it's actually a great thing for people that are spectating the race.  Here's why you should listen to Sasquatch 106.5fm or 560 AM during the race.

A quick search on Craigslist for Grandma's Marathon will show you plenty of things for sale.  It's like a black market for Grandmas Marathon entries.  There's also a lot of lodging options for people desperate for even a place to pitch a tent.
