Diagonal as well as traditional crosswalks in an intersection of Hong Kong.

Diagonal as well as traditional crosswalks in an intersection of Hong Kong.

I'd like to see diagonal crossings in high-pedestrian intersections, especially #Dinkytown. All traffic in both directions come to a halt, and people cross any way they wish.

Job's done. I stayed away from the shop all winter, it feels good to get back at it again.

Cover is Italian cow leather and unsigned marbled paper from MN Center for Book Arts. Loose sheet printing, so I did a fan binding.

This was the Italian beef. Cooked unevenly, might benefit by more thawing ahead of time?

Am loving Indianapolis & the hotel where IU Medical School put me up is very cool, it used to be a Coca Cola bottling plant—great example of reuse

All through the hotel are giant black & white photos of musicians interspersed with photos of the builders who did the hotel construction

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

What does HCMC have to do with Ann Rest’s love for the Twins? The chair of the Senate Taxes Committee really, really loves the Minnesota Twins. Here's why it may complicate HCMC assistance.

"Aiding the Pohlad family, which has owned the Twins since 1984 — the same year Rest joined the Legislature -- is a consistent priority of the New Hope lawmaker." www.minnpost.com/state-govern...
