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.

Parked our bikes at a Dairy Queen and waited for it to open at 11:00 a.m. Blizzards for elevenses!

Posted Destination Medicine.

Between clinic appointments, walked through the Mayo’s Plummer Library. This is not a museum: staff and students study here.

It’s not my usual travel: I’m in Rochester, Minnesota, guest of the Mayo brothers for two days: labs, scans, and review of options.

We timed our morning run well: the storm came in and the deluge started after we got home.

Pondered a sign as we pedaled the Midtown Greenway towards haircuts.

Cycled to a Nordeast Minneapolis hip spot where we met friends from Portland, Oregon, and planned to get together, down-under, in January.

Walked through the Lyndale Park Peace Garden.
