A skunk walked up to our golden retrievers in the backyard early this morning. Thankfully it didn’t spray— Bosco got up close! #duluth #skunk

Never mind the hill, what really defines the pedestrian experience in Duluth is being barked at by yard dogs whose owners then yell, from inside the house, for them to shut up.

More urban wildlife in the backyard: This time a black bear stopped by for a visit. At the very end of the video at the right edge of the screen, he stands upright and takes down our bird feeder.

A fox went through the back yard last night. He was in a hurry and didn’t stay to visit. #fox #duluth

long shot, but, anyone know an LGBTQ+ insurance person at an independent agency in Minnesota? I do not like to rely on heterosexuals for professional services, I went to a Jimmy Buffett concert once, I know how they are

When people defend this by saying "it was a different time," I suspect they do not consider the opinions and experiences of those who faced discrimination at that time to be valid.
