My favorite parking spot was in the big field next to the Duluth pumping station down by Lakewood road. It offered a small road through the field to a secluded spot by the lake. Of course in winter it was not plowed and other places had to be found. But Minnesota in winter comes with its own beer cooler, which is very advantages to heightening and prolonging the parking experience. Of course timing is everything and if you leave your beer in the snowbank to long you end up peeling it and eating it like a popsicle.

I bet The. White. Chevy. and Falcon Edie knew a few of the best places. If I remember correctly the original white chevy was a station wagon. A fine vehicle for exploring parking spots. Did it have astro turf in the back? OOPS I said I was not going to get political. Oh well astro turf was not around then anyway. I bet you had one of those old army surplus blankets. The ones made out of wool that could be used as a brillo pad if necessary. I can remember many a squeal of pain as one of those came in contact with some tender part of male or female anatomy.

Any way where was your favorite spot?

Just to set the record straight, the original TWC was not a station wagon, although I wouldn't swear that astro turf wasn't back there at one time or another. God knows there was enough other junk back there.

Anyone who really knows me knows that I've always preferred natural grass - for baseball, football, inhaling or any other recreational activity.

As for my favorite parking spot, frankly, I don't choose to share that. Who knows? I may need it next year.

Peace, brothers and sisters.

2. The Lincoln Bedroom

3. Frank Sinatra's driveway

I also preferred wherever Hillary was not.....

Arkansas Governors Mansion also was a cool spot....

If I did not go there, then the 5th hole on the old golf course was a good spot.

By the water tower also could be a good spot, but you had to watch out for the kids that lived in the area.

They smuggle a bottle of Jack Daniels into the game. The game is real

exciting and they are enjoying themselves drinking Jack Daniels mixed

with soft drinks. Soon they realize that the bottle of Jack Daniels

is almost gone and the game has a lot of innings to go.

Using the clues given, what inning is the game in and what is the

status of the game?

Answer: It's the bottom of the fifth and the bags are loaded!

Plywood, I printed out the joke to tell to the baseball fans at the bar tonight...too funny!

Falcon Edie, Two-Z and happy, you guys better post on this thread now that I've broken the ice!

Actually, if we're talking about modern era places to park, you could probably go to the VFW lot at virtually any time of day or night and do any damn thing you want. It appears nobody goes there anymore.

By the way, reliable sources tell me that the parking lot opposite Betty's Pies works well. Of course, It wouldn't be a good idea to show up there on a Saturday afternoon in July when Betty is serving up a lot of pie. But if you pick the right time in the right month, you will enjoy privacy, if not the comfort of astro turf or a wool blanket.

Believe it or not, the end of the breakwater is a cold, but secluded space most nights. I *might* have kissed a girl or two there, but I'm not saying for sure.

Skipper and Cruiser, I have a guess as to who you are, but it's only a guess...you'll have to introduce yourselves over a brew dog at the VFW!

That is a great story Skipper. That sure can make a guys day go bad in a hurry.

Speaking of bad days. Try being a Twins fan here in Mariner country right now. Hope something changes because I am going tho go to the Friday Twins-Mariner game in Seattle. It sure would be nice to see the Twins get at least one back.

Heading to TH Thursday....can't wait to get home and see the big lake, my family, and drink a beer that does not cost $6.

LUCKY.

Is anyone else a West Wing fan? The Wed. episode was a new one to me and I thought is was very good & funny.

SKIPPER, I THINK YOU KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED. ARE YOU IN DENIAL? HA HA
