Getting off of a call list, hopefully.

jmaynard just got a call from someone with the DFL (Minnesota's Democrats) who asked if he'd given any thought to the senate race between Al Franken (D) and Norm Coleman (R). She got a reply that seemed to stun her a bit when she asked what he'd decided, "I think Al Franken is a left-wing lunatic, so I'll be voting for Coleman." When she recovered she asked about party affiliation. With any luck, the DFL won't be calling any more.

About Two Restaurants

The KFC in Fairmont has closed, and the property is to be auctioned off. Not too big a deal, as I hadn't gone there in a year or two and jmaynard doesn't care much for fried chicken. We do wonder what will happen to the building, but it's not any great concern.

Today Jay upgraded his iPhone and started at various applications and TripAdvisor suggested a restaurant in Northrop. That was the only one it came up with for Fairmont. We decided to give it a try, and when we found it we also found that the database was out of date as the place had a different name. It's now Sheri's. I suspect it's the only restaurant (and bar) in tiny Northrop. We both tried the Friday fish fry and I think they got it right. We'll be trying the place again sometime. If they do steak reasonably well they'll definitely be on the list.
