Posted Afraid of Eggplant No More.

First Avenue, concert venue. Cycled on 1st Avenue, the street: it had been blocked off for cyclists and pedestrians.

We set up LEGO test tracks for our nephews. The theme is: Slowing It Down. I suspect they will want to Speed It Up.

Cycled past Minnehaha Falls. To paraphrase Dr. Johnson: “Worth seeing? Yes; but not worth going to see.” The journey.

Cycled past old homes on Nicollet Island, in the Mississippi, not far from the towers of downtown Minneapolis.

Posted Travel Gear: Clean Clothes. I reveal my laundering secrets.

Drippy weather + sprained leg = a good day to slow down and update our PC’s.

On our bicycle ride back home after an overnight in the far western ‘burbs: LEGO-inspired sidewalk art.

We cycled from our house until we found Oak Ridge (a hotel), our home tonight.

Cycled with a friend to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum where we looked for LEGO sculptures.

Posted Urban Bike: Mill City.

Cycled past Fort Snelling.

Went to the top of an old flour mill, now a museum. This is part of a flour dust collection system.

The Mill City Museum became an expressionist painting when reflected in the mirrored panels of The Guthrie Theater.

Foraged at the co-op. We’re entering the best time of the year for food shopping.

At Brickmania, in a former WW2 bombsight factory, followed balls rolling through a giant kinetic K’Nex sculpture.
