Ducking Grey Duck

All of the penicillin in use worldwide comes from a strain of mold that was growing on a cantaloupe bought at a grocery store in Peoria, Illinois in 1942.

Stunning!

After using up an entire sheet of pimple patches, I have determined I was bit by mosquitoes at LEAST 42 times on my calves alone today. Lets see how these babies perform.

Local children cleaned up. Local dentists suddenly hearing the repeated ring of an old cash register.

That's the end of the show

Big fish puppet on wheels. It was made from sparkly fabric

Big fish! Mouth opened and closed and the tail swished. A+

Float for a local bar goes by tossing stuffed bears to the kids and inviting the grown ups to grab beers from their wagons

Pick up truck in s parade with a banner on the side that reads "orca front liberation". An inflatable orca is on the roof. People in the bed are dressed in orca and jellyfish costumes. Written on the driver side windows is "sink them yachts!"

No notes. Perfection.

The locals cheer as the end of the train approaches! Huzzah!

#NotesFromASmallTownParade

A well -detailed Hamburgler was graffitied on the side of one of the train cars

Parade is now paused as a train is coming through

There are so many good doggos in this parade! A westie with a stuffed cowboy monkey just trotted by, filtered by two Irish wolfhounds

30-something guy who is clearly a couple in, running into overtime he knows on the street

Guy, holding his beer bottle high: just supporting the local economy!

18ish boy is walking down the street with his parents toward the bar (sensing a theme)

Mom, laughing: she'd give you a beer if you want one
Mom, dead serious: BUT YOU DON'T WANT ONE

Facebook post by the North Shore Scenic Railroad, showing a single white tennis shoe on the roof of a vista dome train car, reading " Lost & Found... & Fabulous? We've seen a lot of things on top of the train-leaves, bugs, the occasional squirrel joyriding-but today... we found a shoe. Just one. Perched proudly like it was enjoying the view. Now we have questions: on top of a moving train? Who loses a shoe Was it a dramatic Should we add a Cinderella moment or an intense game of "the floor is lava"? lost-and-found section to the roof? If you're missing a stylish stowaway, we've got your sole-mate waiting for you. (And if the other shoe turns up in Two Harbors, we'll know it went the full round trip.) #TrainMysteries #ShoeOnTheRoof #NorthShoreScenic Railroad #LostButMakeltFashion" Plus some very stupid MetaAI suggested questions below.

Meanwhile in Duluth....

I think that's why candy is often thrown at parades

They let us back into the US. Unsure if I'm relieved or disappointed.

Kid: how old do you have to be to make drinks?
Dad: 18... You're too young, son. It's a good job, though *chuckle*

Dad sits at the bar with his young son. Dad orders a glass of wine. Kid marvels because he's never seen his dad drink wine before. Bartender makes the kid a virgin piña colada, and it was the most wholesome thing ever. The kid was THRILLED

Please tell Lola I love her

Idk about you, but I am le tired

An off duty waitress just talked two 60-something year old men to try their first Irish car bombs

There's a kid who looks no older than 15 tending bar and a table full of vociferous Russians. This place is pretty rad.

No one ever said “I ate too many hot dogs” on their deathbed.

Behold! A woman!

behold, a woman

Heading into Canada. Weeeee

Just getting away for our wedding anniversary. Voyageurs national Park is a dark sky area, so we're hoping for clear night skies
