FoR BoAT SALE...

Ang and I went for a walk down the street and around the corner tonight for some delicious Vietnamese food at Classic Sai Gon near Rahn Road and Cedar Grove Parkway here in Eagan. If you're ever in the area, give it a try. The food is tasty, the prices are reasonable, and the service is always friendly. It's been a few years since I've been there, and frankly I don't know why it's been so long. I suppose my suburbanite brain is hard-wired to believe that everything must be driven to, so I often forget that I have a surprising number of dining options within walking and biking distance from my house. Not including the handful of gas stations I can walk to (you never know when you might want to deep throat a gas station pickle in a bag).

On the way back, I spotted this sign in a yard. What the hell is going on here? FOR BOAT SALE MOTOR TRAIL. Then the tiny (blurred out) phone number written twice, one of them at a 45 degree angle. Word to the wise, when trying to sell a car, boat, house, piano, whatever, write or print the sign in LARGE, legible letters so that people in cars passing by at 30 or 40 miles per hour can actually read it. Do not do what this guy did and write your sign by dipping a strand of spaghetti in ink and whipping it at a sheet of ink jet paper from across the room.
