Posted A Man in a Machine.

Welcomed UK-designed and built Anglepoise lamps into our home. They first came out in 1935. I studied with one in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. This is new, essentially the 1970’s model with a twist: a Mondrian/De Stihl-inspired paint job.

Took a sneak peek at our new home. We move in, mid January.

Cycled with a friend on trails we’d never explored before, southwest of Minneapolis. Stopped for coffee at a mega-church. The coffee was good, the atmosphere was corporate.

Wandered around the State Fair in the rain.

Sought inspiration at Architectural Antiques.

Posted Deluge at Father Hennepin Bluff Park.

Cycled down the middle of what is usually a busy thoroughfare. Franklin Avenue had been closed temporarily to traffic for about 20 blocks as part of the Minneapolis Open Streets initiative.

After modest purchases at Mill City Farmers Market, we kept on spending.

Cycled across Stone Arch Bridge in the rain.

An arriving train interrupted their games.

Our nephews had a grand time trying to drown each other.

Stocked up on strawberries for our two young nephews. We’ll cut them off after they’ve chowed down two pounds of strawberries.

Posted Frame Protruding from Back of Truck.

Posted Mound with Spiral Path.

A shared brownie at Nokomis Beach Coffee gave us the energy to continue peddling.
