Vikings Season Ends

With the New Orleans Saints 31 to 28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, my hopes... the hopes of die-hard Vikings fans everywhere—were crushed once again. We all hoped that this year they might-go-all-the-way!

Late in the season when they started losing their road games, we all braced for the worst. Then, they seemed to have a chance. Even on Sunday, they could have easily won the NFC title, except that they couldn’t control the ball. Fumbles and interceptions setup a win for the Saints and sent Vikings fans into disbelief; as we watched the team self-destruct in a painful-to-watch game.

And what about Brett Favre? He did win me over, even though I wasn’t a supporter of bringing him to the Vikings back in August.

All season, I refrained from blogging about the team because I was afraid that if I rejoiced, the Vikings would self-destruct. But, in the end, even if I’m disappointed—it was just a game… right?

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
