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.

Posted Framing the Future.

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.

Checked out two condos for sale near Mill City Museum, Minneapolis.

Chatted with a Delta aircraft mechanic at the Pride Festival: he and his colleagues built this model. There’s three barbecues on each side.

Meandered around Minneapolis on my bicycle. Caught up on coffee and calories in the café at Open Book.

Reviewed eight bills from my Mayo visit last week. I owe $30, Medicare paid the rest. I dream of Medicare for all.

Posted My Hike Close to North Korea.

Started a needs and wants list for our next home.

Replaced the plates on our ’96 Honda using a sheet metal cutter, an electric drill, drywall mounting parts, and other miscellaneous tools.

Bought green-top turnips. Tonight I’ll cook a favorite dish braised turnip greens with turnips and apple.

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.”

Scenes from cycling part of the Heartland Trail: World’s largest tiger muskie, creek crossing, trailside lemonade stand.

Loaded the car for a trip “Up North.” Hid the garage door opener to avert a collision when we return.
