I am on a low salt message group. One person posts recipes and says β€œjust leave out the salt”. It is rarely that simple. And of course this person has not made said recipe so cannot speak to flavor alterations from leaving out salt.

I saw a pair of bald eagles on the side of Hwy 61 in St. Paul Park this AM. I've seen them flying around in the area, never seen them just standing on the grass.

My son referred to Justin Jefferson as a β€œcheat code”. Some of the catches he makes are amazing.

Fox halftime commentator referred to the "Minneapolis Vikings". Sigh. At least they didn't claim Dublin, Ireland was in the UK this week.

Tough night for my Gophers. Playing #1 rated Ohio State at their home was always going to be an uphill battle.

Mr Lover, an orange and white tabby cat, sitting in a sunbeam. He is very brightly lit, and he appears almost to be illuminating. His eyes are closed, but his nose looks very pink. Stormy, a black cat with green eyes, sits in the background under normal lighting.

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.

It happens. Decades ago, I was briefed on a potential name for a product line. I googled the name because it sounded familiar. #1 hit - defunct brand of cigarettes, which is what I remembered. #2 hit- line of pig semen. I suggested we consider a different name.

"The Fifth Risk" by Michael Lewis has a section on advances in weather forecasting since the 2011 Joplin, MO tornado, IIRC all from the National Weather Service and NOAA.

I am reading a mystery novel set in the Duluth area and now I want to visit the North Shore. My late wife and I used to visit Two Harbors as a getaway, take the kids to see fall colors and Gooseberry Falls. Betty's Pies.

Putting Adjectives in the Right Order You do this without even thinking

Here is an interesting adjective quirk that you probably aren’t even aware you are doing.

In English, adjectives seem to follow a specific order:

opinion - size - age - shape - color - origin - material - purpose - noun

Painful 24 hours for Minnesota football. The Gophers didn't get the job done vs. Cal and the Vikings didn't look good against Atlanta.

The parents of many of the kids in my elementary school had A shotgun for duck hunting and A rifle for deer hunting, typically bolt-action, maybe a semi-auto with a 6-8 round magazine if you were fancy. They didn't have an arsenal of 40 weapons, each with 30 round magazines. Not the same.

These BBQ gloves are one of my favorite kitchen tools. They insulate from heat yet still have enough flexibility to pick up pots. They are long enough to protect my forearms.

Re-watched "Kimi", with Zoe Kravitz playing an agoraphobic tech worker living in an amazing loft. I previously watched it in-flight, on a tiny screen, and the re-watch revealed much. I hadn't caught the clues the character was on the autism spectrum, for example.
