A Day in the Life..........
Aug. 23rd, 2015 02:19 amI went up to Minneapolis last night to see the Minnesota Vikings, football, play.
Thunderstorms were forecast to be in the area. I ran into a little rain on the way up, and a few sprinkles as I walked over to the light rain train to get over to the stadium.
The game got started. The stadium announcer made the announcement that in case of bad weather we would have to evacuate the stadium, it's the University of Minnesota Gophers open air stadium. The Vikings are using it while their new stadium is being built.
The game got off to a rather slow start. It was 6-6 in the second quarter. With just over 8 minutes to play in the second quarter, sure enough, they told us to evacuate the stadium. :o
They asked everybody to please move to one of the three arenas on the University campus. I ended up on Williams Arena, the basketball arena. The A/C wasn't on and talk about a warm building.
For entertainment they put the weather radar on the scoreboard screen. Very large band of orange was going across the Twin Cities area. Then they put up an sign that said that it would be approximately 30 minutes before the evacuation would be over.
Shortly after 9pm they opened the stadium again and started the game back up. There was off and on rain for the rest of the game, which finally got over at 11pm.
And let's add insult to injury, so to speak, my cyst is starting to get inflamed and sore again. ARGH...
This better not delay the surgery to remove it. I need to get this taken care of before I head to Florida. Needless to say, I will be calling them right away Monday morning to see what can be done.
