Abides in the liminal space between the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, where nothing is quite real and anything is possible.

Drums, mandolin. Rarely at the same time.

A person used that word around me on Wednesday night. I asked him not to because it’s offensive and said that we’d moved past it as a society. He evaluated and apologized and bought me a beer. These people are assholes, but they’re also cowards and don’t expect you to call them on their bullshit.

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Medieval English laws categorized eels by size. The most common types were:

Pimpernell / Pimper eels: very small
Shaft / Dole eels: medium
Stub eels: larger
Red: ??

No one knows for sure what red eels were. But they were bad, & customs officers threw them out if they found any.

Don’t be the bad neighbor the rest of the block talks shit about and get that ice cleared before it snows again tomorrow.
If you didn’t get your sidewalks cleared yesterday, now is a great time to take advantage of the sunshine!
