They do an annual survey and I've been responding for years just so I can make this request.

Look forward to future Squash Reviews. We had Carnival tonight. Very nice. Slightly sweet with a denser, creamy texture.

A couple years ago, word got out on my block that someone was trying to break into a home one weekend afternoon. A doorbell cam photo of the guy was sent to everyone. Panic ensued. Turns out it was a friend of a neighbor who went to the wrong house. No one ever apologized for the false accusation.

In 1997 I (and 300+ others) flew on a DC-10 from MSP to GFK for the day to help with flood clean-up. I remember the pilot commenting that the runway was on the shorter end for the aircraft. I see their long runway is 6701 ft. I've always been curious how much of a feat that was.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friends/colleagues and the others affected. What a tragedy.

64A expecting a special primary in mid-December and a special election before February. Remember this was Erin Murphy's seat before her run for Governor.

Tiny black calico cat in the previously-unoccupied smaller dog bed next to another dog bed containing a large silver, long haired tabby. Both beds are on a brown leather couch and the cats are napping.

Update: small cat was redirected (by human) to the other bed after trying to steal large cat's bed yet again. For now, peaceโ˜ฎ๏ธ

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoplesโ€™ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as โ€œpure dystopian creep.โ€

Which I did not pay, thinking surely they'll figure out it was reported stolen. Hahaha, eventually my tax refund was garnished because I could not get it sorted out with Hennepin County. Can't remember how much it cost but not insignificant, including the new plate. Good luck!

That happened to me in 2022. Filed a police report (in StP) the next day, went into a database as stolen. Two months later, Mpls issued a parking ticket to whatever vehicle had it (only 1 plate!) installed. I found out a month after that when I received a late notice for the fine 1/

These AI features are always so half-baked.

Iโ€™m starting to wonder if the people who come up with them, (and who code and test them, etc) are letting their dumb AI tools do most of the work. Like I expect rough edges but this goes so far beyond rough edges.

Do you think someone actually planted this? I suspect a volunteer. Letting volunteer trees grow is one the dumbest things IMO.

I've never met Saint Paul mayoral candidate Yan Chen but last night I dreamt we pulled up the car in front of the house and she (along with an unknown assistant) was digging a large hole next to our oak tree in the boulevard. I have no idea what this means but it made me angry.
