Posted Cycling Around Hakata Station.

Cycled with a friend visiting from UK. Lunch at the 1029 Bra, I mean Bar. The banner honors fallen peace officers.

Power lines and contraiIs through bug-splattered windshield. Interstate 94, Fargo to Minneapolis.

Crossed the Red River of the North from Moorhead, MN to Fargo, ND. The river flows north to Canada.

Noticed new lawn signs in our neighborhood. Only 6 months until the election.

Posted Travel Gear: UK Electrical Adapter.

We cycled in search of architecture: 13 breweries and one strip joint. Sampled the wares at one place (a brewery).

Replay of Monday: cycle, LRT, cycle, classroom.

Cycled to Lake Minnetonka. A man reinforced my preconceptions of white suburbs by telling me about “those Muslims.”

Bike, LRT, bike to a classroom where I learned stuff.

Took my fancy new bike seat for a test ride. It was less uncomfortable than my old one, beer helped on the way back.

We helped our annuals to survive the threat of overnight frost. The low was 34°F; a week earlier, the high was 92°F.

Rediscovered this today: I had filled a birdcage with snow, and was pulling it on a cart. Is this art?

Our cycle ride in search of Frank Lloyd Wright included this Minneapolis beauty on Cedar Lake.

Discovered the “Smallest Museum in St. Paul” in a fire hose cabinet outside Workhorse Cafe, University and Raymond.

My morning: calories, coffee, chat.
