Hüsker Dü's new live album "1985: The Miracle Year" is sooooo good. It is an auditory explosion, almost an aural attack, forcing their righteous tunes into your brain. Highly, highly recommended. It makes me all the more jealous of @freealonzo.bsky.social who saw them in concert many times.

Owámniyomni Okhódayapi just announced the Dakota-led design for the restoration of five acres at Owámniyomni (St. Anthony Falls), adjacent to the Upper Lock on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Project construction is targeted to begin in spring 2026. Very exciting!

I just realized the mini Prince library card is the more accurate and lifelike version since Prince himself was pocket-sized.

It’s so pretty. You might even say it’s got “the look.”

Rock and roll is alive, and it lives in your local public library! Prince themed library cards at Hennepin County libraries! This is not a drill! While supplies last!

A new restaurant called Two For Tripping is moving into the old Annie's Parlour spot. It will be an espresso and breakfast spot with a hockey theme, apparently. I'm glad its not a chain. Keep Dinkytown interesting!

I really enjoy this interstitial time with some maple trees in the fall, when they still have some green leaves along with red, orange, and yellow. Beautiful.

The University of Minnesota just announced the "Meal-A-Day Program" which will provide one meal a day for SNAP benefit recipients while the SNAP program is limited or unavailable. This makes me very happy. A lot of students, faculty, and staff at the U need this, unfortunately.

When my son turned four in 1999, we bought one share of Pixar stock for him since he really liked Toy Story. We hung this on his wall. Now you can't even buy Pixar stock. I must admit, I don't know if we now own shares of Disney? Can I use this stock certificate to find out?

In 1987 during a cross-country trip I made my parents stay at Larry Bird's Boston Connection hotel in Terre Haute, Indiana. I completely forgot, but I kept stationary, envelopes, and this fantastic notepad as souvenirs. Remembering now, I regret not taking the similarly themed shower curtain.

And my Zero Hero award patch. My two sons are Eagle Scouts and we went on a lot of campouts together. Adults can also get patches and this is the one I am most proud of. To earn it we slept in a snow quinzhee north of Ely in January and it got down to -28. It was so cold! At least I got this patch.
