I attended the last MONARCA training and fellas, my guys, local dads, etc. - you need to sign up to do the work. Go to this training. Don’t let your aunties take on ICE alone.

Peter von Hagenbach - Wikipedia

The first person ever convicted of a war crime was Peter von Hagenbach in 1474.

A useful bit of information in the unlikely event Peter von Forest Lake is convicted.

It is a national trend, and the slowing of COVID migration among renters reportedly has something to do with it but I don't get that entirely.

I remember having a hot turkey commercial at a diner across the highway from the Jennie-O plant in Barron, Wisconsin. We didn’t get beef in those parts.

Agree on the Turf sometimes being a bottleneck. The old 400 Bar had a similar layout but was easy to get around when sold out.

Yep. I believe I came across this while prepping for a hike on the Border Route Trail a few years ago.

Little-known and apparently hard to believe geography fact: Minnesota's border with Canada is longer than Montana's.

Only a few nautical miles of Lake Superior near Pigeon Point. The rest of Superior is all Michigan.

This is up there with Minnesota having a longer border with Canada than Montana.

I think MLS should be more open to rescheduling the occasional game. Seems more rigid than other leagues.

One day, we will have a geomagnetic storm so massive that it destroys Starlink satellites and sets data centers on fire. And then we'll party in the streets under the most epic aurora.
