Minnesota, Up North sunsets. Our niece’s wedding (Vergas, MN), then Walker, Leech Lake, Minnesota.

Today we cycled a rail trail: Heartland Trail, Up North.

Cycled rolling hills, Up North.

Attended the wedding of our niece in a small town in Minnesota.

Our bicycles heading north on Interstate 94 at 70 miles an hour.

No nephews on my cycle ride today. I miss them and I miss not knowing what happens when you punch red buttons.

Took my nephews bicycling: four playgrounds, three cafes, a library, and a hospital pathology department. Plus LEGO.

Bought LED light bulbs for my playroom, the space formerly known as my office. I’m saving almost a half kilowatt.

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.
