Walked through empty corporate lobbies while running errands Downtown.

Remembering My Dad

Winnowed down our worldly goods, enough for two carloads for Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity. Dwight inadvertently put this scarf on the Goodwill pile, but I rescued it. My dad wore it while serving in the Home Guard during World War II.

Oblivious to a Changing World

Spotted these at the Andersen Library, University of Minnesota. Also on display was a thoughtful letter from a 19-year-old to the author (both female). The author’s response was condescending, rude, and oblivious to the changing world of the 1970’s.

Stood for human decency with many thousands of Minnesotans outside Target Center, Minneapolis. Inside, the president had a different agenda.
