Shotgun and cops

Friday night I was with some buddies and we decided to go to McDonalds. We roll by McDonalds to see if its open and we see 2 cop cars. Well McDonalds was closed, so we turned around and a nother cop car showed up. We saw the cops getting out of their car with shot guns and they were staying low to the ground and hiding behind a bush. Shit was going down. Once we pulled up to the stop light we looked into the McDonalds and the cops were getting closer and there was definately people inside the unlit building. I dont know what happened with it but it was really unusual to see cops with guns in Plymouth. The next night we craved McDonalds again and were on our way to a different one and we pull out of this neighborhood and a cop pulls us over. I didnt even believe it was happening. The driver, Stu, did not do anything wrong and the cop asked him "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Stu responded "No" The cop said "well you didnt exactly come to a complete stop back there" He took stu's info and let us go. It was the most uneventfull traffic stop. The funniest thing was that the cop was the most stereotypical cop and basically just pulled us over for no reason. He didn't even warn stu he just said. Have a nice night boys. I cant believe I just wrote that.
Last night Sam and I went to the Science Museum of Minnesota. We learned that the Science Museum is open later than most businesses in saint paul. 830am-1130pm every day. If I lived in saint paul I would go there all the time. They have Star Wars exhibit which was really sweet. They had a bunch of the orginal movie props and how technology is catching up with Star Wars technology. The best part of the science museum was the Omni Theatre. The omni theatre is really one of the coolest things. Its a 300 foot clam shell screen that comes down over another massive screen. It all in imax so epic it gets you dizzy and the previews were the best. The movie we watched was about special effects. The movie had every singe epic scene from Star Wars and from Independence day. There was this scene of all these explosions and cars going off cliffs. So awesome. Anyway, when we were at the starwars experience we ran into this guy who was fully dressed like a jedi and had a light saber. It was weird because you would expect an excentric fan to be like that opening day, which there were, but its been open all summer. I just thought it was funny. I have to hand it to the guy he was having a good time.



This is off topic. What is the deal with tall bikes? I am a huge fan of bikes and I enjoy ever different type of riding but what the fuck are they for? I just dont see the point in having a 6 foot tall bike. When ever I see someone riding them in minneapolis i really want to put a stick in the spoke. Its like walking around with stilts on all the time. The roots of tall bikes are practical. The original use being to light lamps in England. That makes sense. They were also used by the crank brothers during a time of flooding which is pretty sweet. But now they are mainly used for attention by anti establishment punkers. I like to say the hesher would be all about tall bikes. The tall bike just screams anarchy and chaos. The dad from the next invasion is a tall bike enthusiast.


So tall bikes are lame, Omni theatre is sick and John Cardiel Rips it.
