Enjoyed lunch at Tao Natural Foods, a place that embraces diversity.

Killed time in wetlands opposite Methodist Hospital before an appointment. Afterwards I walked and walked and didn’t want to stop walking.

Como Lake, St. Paul. Walked with a friend around the park and conservatory.

Chugged down two containers of contrast material prior to a CT scan.

Positively 4th Street mural, looking towards 4th Street, Dinkytown, on an urban hike today searching for traces of Bob Dylan in Minneapolis.

Met friends for dinner at Betty Danger’s Country Club in Nordeast Minneapolis: “A Country Club for the 99%.”
