Steamed-up Glasses

It was a steamy day, so I wasn’t wearing spectacles when we walked into Betty Danger’s Country Club. Imperfect vision can be a blessing.

Cycled to Excelsior, Lake Minnetonka.1964, in a drugstore in this building, a local told Mick Jagger: “you can’t always get what you want.”

On our cycle ride, looked at the sky, a potential location for our next home.

Rode the rails to a place with no there there. Pedaled back to the city.

Rebar masqueraded as sculpture beside the Midtown Greenway. It will reinforce a bridge which replaces and replicates a century-old bridge.

The Interstate surrounded Downtown on my drippy walk. I left my bicycle at home because I did not want a muddy stripe down my back.

Decided to cycle to a place I had never seen: the Twin Cities Model Railway Museum in its new location.

Cycled part of the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail past small towns with main streets called Main Street.

Paused our drive from “Up North” to cycle part of the Soo Line Trail. Cycled across the Mississippi near the Blanchard Dam.

Watched the night come in. Leech Lake, Walker, Minnesota. “Up North.”
