Cycled to nowhere. Outside it’s colder than the inside of our freezer and a substantial snowstorm is coming in. A good day to stay inside and think about maybe decorating the tree.

Designed to Impress
With temperatures hovering around 0°F it was a day to minimize outdoor activity. Rode the light rail to St. Paul with a friend. Warmed up in the Landmark Center where we peered into rooms, including the Chief Justice Room.
Civil Society
Watched daytime television. Grateful for the rule of law.
Temple Plumbing 2022
I hiked to two temples of an 88-temple pilgrimage and photographed the plumbing.
A Trip to the “Basement”
Retrieved Christmas decorations from the “basement”—a storage cage two floors down.
How I Spent Saturday Afternoon
The Dyson has been stopping after 3 or 4 minutes. Today I took it apart and gave it a good clean. It didn’t fix the problem, but it did need the cleaning. Next I’ll replace the battery with an overpriced OEM rather than an aftermarket battery to minimize the risk of fire.
School’s Out
School’s out for the Holidays! Walked home from my Friday gig past a melting snowman with a face mask.
Socializing by Design
On my Minneapolis Skyway walk: an example of designing out antisocial behavior. Target recently redesigned this lobby to eliminate disruptive loitering. It seems to be working. The mural in my Monday post is another example: it’s discouraging graffiti.
The Last Straw
Congratulations to my nemesis, Ch*ga, on being permanently banned from Truth Social for posting a Vanity Fair cartoon implying the former president’s winery produces subpar products. Click through, the plot thickens.
Round Every Corner…
I love walking into buildings to satisfy my curiosity and to take a break from the cold. Today, on the University of Minnesota East Bank campus, I walked past these students studying medical history. Later I was offered a free donut.
