A Warm Place

Right now, we’re not going to warm places, but we can bring warm places to us. Thank you, Dwight.

Your Dog

On our walk at Bde (Dakota for Lake) Maka Ska: Your Dog ice sculpture. The Minneapolis Institute of Art has this sculpture by Japanese artist, Yoshitomo Nara, in fiberglass in their collection. Inevitably, for me, it evokes anime or manga.

Aphrodisiac Telephone

On my walk: Aphrodisiac Telephone ice sculpture. The Minneapolis Institute of Art has this Salvador Dali surrealist object in plastic and metal in its collection. Yes, that’s a lobster on top of the handset.

British Pasties

Walked to the Dinkytown neighborhood to a place that’s just opened up specializing in pasties. Bought two for us to enjoy today, and two to freeze for another time. I’m partial to British-style savories en croute

Without People

Walked through almost deserted skyways and tunnels in downtown Minneapolis. Stopped for an Americano and pastry in a comfortable place I haven’t visited in over a year. Looked forward to a time these places will be bustling again and commerce will be in full swing.

No Video Game Here

Spent way too many hours hacking data streaming out of a game controller. I don’t do video games, I’m figuring out how to use it to control seven servo-motors

Paperless Valentine’s Day

Went paperless: pulled together photos from previous Valentine’s Days, including these cards from 2016, to display on our kitchen assistant.
