Sale Signs; Restaurant and Batting Practice; Sunset

Sunday, June 18, 2012. Unger's big stock liquidation sale is still going. It started last September.


Ungers: stock liquidation sale in progress. September 27, 2011.


Unger's Furniture, this weekend. Look closely: those signs in the windows aren't the ones from last year. June 23, 2012.


The latest signs are getting a little sun-bleached, though. June 23, 2012.


Look even closer: "new management/new merchandise." June 23, 2012.


Sauk Centre's 'other' Chinese restaurant: Four Seas Buffet, near Walmart. That's where Fitness Guru used to be. June 23, 2012.


Four Seas Buffet is newer than their downtown counterpart. There's another distinction, too. June 23, 2012.


Need a little exercise after your meal? Four Seas Buffet has this batting practice setup next door. June 23, 2012.


Sunset. We get one each day, but they're not all this scenic. June 20, 2012.

That's about all I've got for now. See you next week.

Father's Day, 2012: Picture Postcard Weather Yesterday

Sunday, June 17, 2012. Father's Day. This was another one of those weeks where I didn't get much done: and took all week doing it. I wrote a few posts, washed a few dishes: all pretty much routine.

The weather at the moment isn't quite 'routine.' There's a tornado watch on until 10:00 p.m., so I'm keeping an eye on the Sauk Centre page of Wunderground.com.

Whoops. There's a severe thunderstorm warning for St cloud, New Munich, Lake Henry, Freeport, Hawick, Paynesville, Albany, Roscoe, Manannah, Richmond, Avon, Eden Valley, and Cold Spring. Looks like the excitement's going to be mostly east of Sauk Centre.

It's about 9:05 p.m. or so. The lights flickered just now, so I'll add a photo and stop for the night.


Those silos are across the river: but this shows how 'rural' we are. It's not for everyone, but I've gotten used to the lack of smog and traffic jams. June 16, 2012.

Or, rather, I'll get this entry online: Then I'll stop.
