Was actually spinning today, HANG OUT THE FLAG!!

No wait, maybe the City or MMPA was powering the thing with coal generated electricity.

There is NO WAY to know for sure. The windmill is NOTHING but a plaything for the brain dead idiots who installed and are operating it.

The darn thing is spinning today.

YTD, generation of electricity and the cost of operating the windmill produce a price of $298/KWH.

IF you live in North Saint Paul the ultra high price of wind power is raising your electric rates by $1.50 per KWH.

Damn Wally and company is really helping us out, thanks guy you are the best.

We need to build more bridges and trails. I know everything- I worked at 3M and invented things but never got credit or a patent for it, so I piss and moan about people who have more money than me. working my whole life at the "mine", I just couldn't make it. We need to take the money from those that have it and spread it around so it is more fair.- Bridge Builder Stan

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Libra

It's one of those difficult days when anything can and will happen. Someone you were relying on might let you down, plans could be changed at the eleventh hour or a machine could go on the blink. To make matters worse, your energy levels are very erratic, so you feel full of beans one minute and ready to go to sleep the next. Don't make the situation worse by eating foods that give you a high followed by a slump.
