If his negative value could be cleared from the ledger-books, there would be time for all to talk about life-affirming things, like beautifully made cheeses and where to find tasty funghi.

Not only cool, it keeps slumming owners out of ownership and games engaging. The Pohlads would have been run out of here long ago, for example.

Keep the leagues small enough that we can know all the teams and so every game means something (including the one you paid $100 to see).

10 years ago, and I am surprised to be so sad. (These were actually at Paisley Park, two days later.) From a time before almost everything that shapes now.

That sounds more like a cue than a statement of fact. One would think if it were an actual hindrance, that would have influenced the state passing it, or not.

“Middle-aged” sounds really old to me. Maybe because I haven’t heard that used since I was younger and middle-aged people seemed … pretty old. It must mean I’m “geologically dated” now or something.

Interesting that when transit gets mentioned it’s only “reliability,” and not access or convenience—y’know, things actual users care about, not things that suburbanites mention to give themselves an excuse for not using.

I’ve been hoping/expecting Flanagan to replace Smith, which will be good, and agree with you based on whoever replaces Klobuchar if she’s elected.

It is. She’s been in college in upstate NY since fall of 2020 and Miles did his senior year of HS in Vermont and loved it so much he’s figured out how to live in the northeast ever since, so I’ve had to get used to both being gone for years now.

It is really good. I hadn’t read it previously. And the education part … being a thousand miles from home for the first time and quarantined constantly in a small dorm room put one of my kids in a very dark place for awhile. Grateful they could take a break and ease themselves back.

A view of a rest area closed because of piles of snow blocking the entrance, with the Mackinac suspension bridge in the background. Sunny and with blue skies.

That would have been extra-amusing when I was there about three weeks ago.

Sick of Dems who can only come up with “Dems should …” or creating made-up bad-Dems to complain about. If you’ve got ideas, lead! Just do the thing, and we’ll clap.
