I got this email from SJU yesterday, as I am sure many of you did. Seriously? I think back to when our kids were a little younger and needed backpacks full of activities and snacks to get through the afternoon. Heck, I brought a propane heater a few times!

New Clear Bag Policy for SJU Football Games
Dear Johnnie Football Fans,
As you prepare for the upcoming Saint John's football season, we want to make you aware of an important change to gameday entry procedures.
A clear bag policy will be in effect for all Saint John's football games at Clemens Stadium this season.
If you plan to bring a bag into the stadium, it must be one of the following:

• A clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag no larger than 12" × 6" × 12"
• A one-gallon clear resealable plastic bag
• A small clutch bag no larger than 4.5" × 6.5"

Medical, accessibility and diaper bags are permitted and will be subject to inspection.
Backpacks, large purses or totes, coolers, duffel bags, fanny packs, camera bags and other noncompliant bags will not be permitted. Please leave these items in your vehicle before entering the stadium.
To make the transition easier, approved clear bags will be available for purchase beginning with the first home game at the SJU Spirit Shop, football stadium shop and Spirit Shop cart in the tailgating lot.
Thank you for helping us make gameday safe and welcoming for everyone.

Go Johnnies!

Safe and welcoming?  Even rural central Minnesota is getting the bag inspection routine now.  That's a shame.

Mrs Oz and I have had a week's holiday in tropical Far North Queensland (FNQ, in the local lingo) and as I was walking through part of the hotel, I noticed that not only has Gough Whitlam, Australia's only Prime Minister to be dismissed by the Queen/King, been here, but Bobby beat me here as well.  I'm having a year of Bobby.  You're everywhere.

From the boyhood home in Hibbing to some long ago tour stop at FNQ (see what I did there), that's a quality Dylan find in your year of Bobby.

Similar to the Seinfeld bit "Nothing finer than being in your diner" episode. But then again, maybe not.
