The other law students find it really annoying to clap during the exam.

Oh, I hadn't thought of trains. I assumed they were divided into several crossings.

I would guess that dot at International Falls, a rather small International highway crossing, should be moved to Duluth, a major shipping port.

😐

All of Saint Paul was useless for weeks because of the cyber attack. It's always something.

And the brain age of a pickled gorilla

My local branch was closed today because the water was shut off for road repairs. That's a new one.

I've started watching films that are only on Kanopy because I'm afraid budget cuts will hit there first.

Google's AI is calling it already.

Well. I just wrote my first truly brilliant and insightful comment on a post that was deleted before I finished it.

I was a Red Sox fan until they won it all. Now I can't name anyone on the team.

Oh. I wish I hadn't read that.

This wasn't the sort of game where you want to congratulate anyone because of the final result, but 3rd place going into Final was $15000 I think!

Guess I'm cheering for the Mariners, because they've never done well in the post-season.

He has a sizable role; in the credits, he gives a talk about conservation and how sharks are important to the ecosystem and I think he insisted on that.

Into the Deep (2025)

Richard Dreyfuss in a shark movie, but this ain't Jaws. Or even Jaws 3.

My godson went to Carleton and loved it; he's a professor of Anthropology now.

Macalester is kitty-corner from my favorite cheese shop. They have great sandwiches, if you're looking for lunch.

The things people can (or could) get at libraries amaze those not in the know. You can rent mobile hot spots here. You could get state park passes. During the pandemic, they were giving students laptops.

Nice place. I'm about 5 miles from there right now.

They make a good Juicy Lucy.

I just recently read about how scented books sold at convenience stores were attempted once. Apparently, they hadn't considered some pretty obvious problems.

From the spelling, locals can tell you didn't go to Matt's, which claims to have invented it. Others make good ones, too; it's like Geno's or Pat's cheesesteaks in Philly.

"I'll take 'You Are An Ass' for $200."

"That's URNS."

Familiar faces at 2025 Twin Cities Marathon finish. Al Zetterlund (ran 2:16 there in 1982), Rick Strand, Dan Brown (set Minnesota age 68 record this year), Denny Jordan, Danny Ripka (once ran 142 miles in 1 day and 438 miles in 6 days)

Priscilla AND Raymond? In this barometric pressure?

Lawn's mowed, but the neighbors still won't be happy.

That's mostly the flood. It was horrific. Hammond got wiped off the map.

Ugh. I need to talk to someone in a government office that's closed for the shutdown.

I knew it; you're Scott Seekins

My friend Larry lost his house in the flood in Zumbro Falls in 2010. A lot got changed after that.
