Just a few things.

Went to a new faire. Spent Saturday, well a good chunk of it, at Rosenthorne Renaissance Faire in Elk River, MN. It's a small, first year, and shows. It would be easy to be quite negative about it. Yet I had a good time and expect with the changes planned (what I know of them) for next year, it could do very well then. Running five weekends the first year, and that after a sort of panicked rescue, takes quite a bit. Hey, Minstrosity, don't expect a huge crowd with lots of tips - but do expect to be treated well by those there and to have a leisurely good time. Also, if the frybread/pie place is there this coming weekend, they do well. (Hrm, perhaps I should send 'em directions to Lindey's Prime Steakhouse for Friday (or Saturday?) night.)

Sunday was a nice lazy day, overall. jmaynard dug out his negative scanner and we got that hooked up and working on belgian. Now I can scan negatives and get the pictures I take all digitized. I've scanned the first roll of film (of four) taken at Waterloo. Haven't done much editing, but if I send the scans to anyone, they can edit them down and adjust color from the raw image whatever way they want. I may do some tweaking for myself later.

This past weekend was (and is) Interlaken Heritage Days in Fairmont, which doesn't really mean much to me. It does mean there is a parade tonight and it goes right past the Mexican restaurant in town. So tonight won't be Mexican Monday for me and Jay. Maybe we'll try the Channel Inn, which hopefully won't be too smoky, and I can have a cheeseburger with green olives. Yum!
