Abandoned objects punctuated my walk in the rain on a dissonant day in Minneapolis: stuffed animal in gutter; armored vehicle in collision with car going wrong way on one-way street; balloons beside oddly placed gas meter; remains of a sofa beside bus sto
Dutch Kitsch
On our walk: Dutch kitsch met emerging tulips.
Vermillion Falls
On a cycle ride with friends, following the Mississippi, starting south of St. Paul: Vermillion Falls, Vermillion River, Hastings, MN. The flour mill is still operating, but no longer uses water power.
Left-Leaning Cycle Rack
Hitched my bike to a left-leaning rack.

Picked up my unnaturally clean bike, resplendent with new parts, from Freewheel Bike. Took it for a spin.

Yikes
Avoided another trip… …to the emergency room. (There were no cones.)
