All About That Bass

Women are taking over popular music, and no song is better than Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass." It has a great message with a catchy beat and throwback sound. It is currently at No. 4 on Billboard, and I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches No. 1.

I had lots to cover with the Milaca Fly-in and the Mille Lacs County Fair last week. I've been busy this week too, so that's why this is up a day late. I have 15 photos to share after I look back at how I did predicting receivers last season in fantasy football.

2013 prediction No. 1: Calvin Johnson. Actual finish for Johnson: Three.
Solid pick. I couldn't go wrong picking him to be No. 1 every year, and that's almost always what I've done.
2013 prediction No. 2: Brandon Marshall. Actual finish for Marshall: Five.
Another strong prediction. Marshall didn't have quite the season I expected, but that was likely due to his soul mate Jay Cutler being injured for a stretch.
2013 prediction No. 3: Dez Bryant. Actual finish for Bryant: Seven.
An OK selection. Bryant didn't score as much as I anticipated last year, but he still did pretty well, and anyone who took him as the third wide receiver off the board is not complaining.
2013 prediction No. 4: A.J. Green. Actual finish for Green: Four.
And boom goes the dynamite.
2013 prediction No. 5: Julio Jones. Actual finish for Jones: 64.
Should have known he would get hurt, but his upside is so high it's hard not to rank him high.
2013 prediction No. 6: Randall Cobb. Actual finish for Cobb: 60.
Another injury, but this one was a lot harder to take and see coming.
2013 prediction No. 7: Roddy White. Actual finish for White: 55.
Wow. Three in a row that were hurt for a big part of the year. Roddy was a weird case.
2013 prediction No. 8: Vincent Jackson. Actual finish for Jackson: 14.
Not a terrible prediction as Jackson had a solid year. Just had him ranked a little too high.
2013 prediction No. 9: Victor  Cruz. Actual finish for Cruz: 29.
Did not see Eli's fall, which really hurt Cruz.
2013 prediction No. 10: Dwayne Bowe. Actual finish for Bowe: 44.
Dumb, dumb idea to think that he would be better. He's done.

Anyways, I have some photos to share from last week's work:

Eight-year-old Reed Bleymeyer goes no-handed over the Mega Jump at last week's Mille Lacs County Fair.

Riders Jacob Walker (right), Alex Hiltunen (middle) and Bleymeyer run a train over the mega jump.

Kyle Heaser goes huge no-handed over the jump last Thursday.

Tristan Rauschendor makes a full pull in the first ever lawn tractor pull Thursday night at the Mille Lacs County Fair.

A group of people look on as a plane takes off the runway of Milaca Municipal Airport last Sunday at the annual Fly-in Breakfast.

The hangar was packed with breakfasters at the fly-in.

Families and kids cruise around the midway at the MLC Fair last Friday.

Kids at the Milaca library play a game with the Funky Possum Dance Party for the final day of the summer reading program. 

A library volunteer leads the kids in dance on Aug. 5.

Little Sophie Schmidt dances with Funky Possum.

A number of kids hop on one foot with Joey the Kangaroo.

Schmidt looks for a hug from one of her favorite animals.
