ESPN, the NFL Network and Boston Herald are reporting that Randy Moss has been traded by the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings for a third-round pick.
Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, Jared Allen, Pat Williams, Kevin Williams … and now Moss? That’s way too many superstars on one team, isn’t it?
At the very least, it’ll be interesting … if true.

Join the League of Women Voters Duluth for a great adventure on Sunday, Oct. 10 (1-4pm), and be a part of a global event that’s “Making A Difference.”
Actually, I was kind of serious. We got no cable, and the American League games, all of them, are on TBS. Totally bites. Even the ALCS isn’t available for us Luddites. And, no, there are no options for friends with cable. So, if I am forced to go public with my Twins devotion, my bandwagon hopping on, where do PDDers suggest I go without feeling like I have to buy a beer every inning — though that may be fun on a Friday. Looking for low-key, non-sports bar setting. Possible?

Afghanistan Memorial Vigil – Remembering those silenced
A candlelit vigil and march to mark the ninth year of the continuing war and conflict in Afghanistan sponsored by the Northland Anti-War Coalition and CSS Center For Justice Living.
Beginning in the Duluth Rose Garden near Leif Erikson Park, the night will start with words from local religious leaders. Following this we will march down the Lakewalk to place a memorial, in remembrance of the Afghan civilians and Coalition soldiers who have died, between the Korean War and Vietnam War Memorials. Here we will be led in song by Sara Thomsen and have a moment of silence.
This is a time for everyone to join together to remember those that have died in the ongoing war outside of any partisan conflict or ideological struggle.
NOTE: Please bring photos, flowers, or other items to place at the memorial if you would like.
DETAILS:
What: Afghanistan Memorial Vigil and Candlelit March
Where: Duluth Rose Garden; Along Lake Walk
When: Wednesday, Oct. 6, 6:30
This Sunday in Lincoln Park there is to be the first (that i know of) Really Really Free Market in Duluth. What is a Really Really Free Market you may ask? Well, from what I’ve gathered off the all mighty intra-nert, it’s a time and a place where people can get together to share things without being encumbered by money in all its forms. Things such as material objects, musical jams sessions, puppet theatre, skill-sharing and playshops (like hair cuts, massage therapy, dance lessons, automotive knowledge, cooking classes), pot-luck lunches and food shelves, all are freely distributed to anyone who wants it. Anything you can think of that someone else may need. All for FREE!!

From the Burmese jungle to coal mining towns in West Virginia, Training for Change (TFC) has for decades worked alongside grassroots activists to help them build more effective movements. This November 12-14, TFC is bringing its popular Training for Social Action Trainers (TSAT) to Duluth.
The TSAT is meant for activists, educators and organizers of all stripes who want to take their movement-building skills to a new level. Using experiential tools and small group discussion, the TSAT covers everything from workshop design to confronting racism. I highly recommend this training… but space is limited and filling quickly.
The fee is on a sliding scale ($150-$300) and includes all meals. Please don’t let cost be an obstacle: scholarships are available. Check out the Training for Change website for more details and to register.

Increased personal magnetism and charisma are not with you this year. Relationships are not very stimulating and a focal point for you and your pets. Creative endeavors are likely to suck. New responsibilities and duties are part of your life this year, and at times you can feel a little burdened by them, get over it! However, you can benefit greatly from the increased doses of vitamins needed to keep you alive, as you are an old person now.
Today’s birthdays include:
Thomas Wolfe
Gore Vidal
Chubby Checker
Ashlee Simpson
and … Mr. DeafYet — AKA — Big ‘old’ House Bob.
