Tuesday December 10, 2013 General Mills was dumping nasty stuff in my
neighborhood for several decades. Minneapolis city government found out
about it in 1981. Now, a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf
of Southeast Como property owners, to get General Mills to clean the
stuff up.
This evening, there was a meeting at Van Cleve Park with the lawyers
handling the suit.
The stuff is called TCE. It gets into water; it also vaporizes and gets
into indoor air. It's known to cause medical problems, and suspected of
causing others.
Repeat: the city government learned of the problem in 1981.
***"Paul Walsh of the Strib says: 'A Twin Cities gymnastics coach has
been put on leave after a Cottage Grove father accused him of tattooing
his 15-year-old daughter without her parents’ knowledge. Along with being
put on leave as the girls gymnastics coach at Park of Cottage Grove,
Terry Hardy, 37, of Hastings, has been fired as coordinator of gymnastics
for the South Washington County School District’s community education
program. He is not a teacher in the district.… Rasmussen, who is not a
gymnast, showed KMSP-TV, Channel 9, her tattoos and told the station that
Hardy tattooed a cross on the back of her neck, the word "strength" on
her wrist and her favorite song lyrics across one shoulder. She also told
the station that Hardy pierced her tongue, but she removed the stud.' So
it was kind of a religious thing …?"

others). What a headache. Good for writing fiction though."
I didn't realize I had any kind of synesthesia till I was 17. Didn't
notice most of my synesthesias till I started taking meds for ADHD.
