A different definition of "any" than I'm familiar with
Saw the headline for the Deal of the Day in the Amazon Gold Box and was very interested: 'Any Season of "Doctor Who" on DVD', and then I read the rest: 'Save 59% on any of the four seasons of "Doctor Who" on DVD, starring Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.' Now I'm wondering if I've slipped into an alternate universe in which there have only been four seasons of Doctor Who.

Today was...
...the first time, with this bicycle, that I've ridden to work three days straight.
...the first time, with this bicycle, that I've ridden to work four days in one week.
...the latest in the year I've ever ridden to work.

[Link] | I rode my bicycle to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival yesterday. Maybe not the smartest thing I've ever done because I think I've come down with a cold as a result.

SW Transit hates Eden Prairie workers
At least that's the only conclusion I can draw from this proposal. The relevant portion is:
684 ยท Would be suspended for resource reallocation
The 684 being their only reverse commuter route and therefore the route that anyone who works in Eden Prairie and lives elsewhere would be taking to get to work. This didn't even make the Highlights section of the proposal. In the Highlights however it does mention "SWT would suspend all service from/to... Golden Triangle". That's the area that's bounded by 212, 169, and 494 and contains mostly office parks including the one that I work in. (As far as I know it isn't a major opium producing area.) I really don't know what I'm going to do if they eliminate all reverse commuter runs. There isn't really any other convenient way for me to get to work.

More Re: Rune
Two questions from the comments on my previous post about volunteering to become Rune editor.
So what kind of platform, goals, approach, purpose, drove you to this insanity idea?
I thought there was a reasonable chance that I'd be able to get at least one issue of Rune out successfully, and it didn't look like ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) galacticvoyeur had any plans to do that in the forseeable future.
Do you have any guidelines, themes, deadlines for content?
I don't think I'm going to be overwhelmed with content so I don't think I can afford to be very picky. If it looks like nobody is submitting content because there isn't a theme for them to target I'll look at doing a theme, but for now I'm going to welcome just about anything people give me.
As to deadline I'd at least like to know about planned submissions by the end of September, but if something shows up out of the blue after then and before I publish I'm not going to complain.
Elsewhere someone asked me "what are you looking for? Fannish, SF related?" Beggars can't be choosers, but if anyone is agonizing between two articles/drawings/whatever to send and the deciding factor is fannish vs. SF I guess I'd choose fannish.

The number of people who care about this is probably one (if you include me), but here it is anyway. My MnStf Hotline Scripts from 2001 through 2003.

Because your summer calendar wasn't full enough
Schedules are up for Movies in the Parks Series, Concerts at Lake Harriet, and Plays and Dance in the Park. The plays include 3 Shorts of Shadow Puppetry and the Cromulent Shakespeare Company's version of The Tempest both of which I'm interested in seeing. The listing doesn't say it but the July 11th performance by the Minneapolis Pops Orchestra is going to be The Gilbert & Sullivan Very Light Opera Company doing H.M.S. Pinafore.

Whence Ditto?
Reading this post to Twitter and this post to rassef has gotten me wondering. What happened to Ditto? Is it truly dead, or is it merely pining for the fjords? How would someone find out? I'd think that next year would be an ideal year to have a Ditto with Corflu in the UK.
