Gateway Trail Iron Bridge
|
|

|

We spend the majority of our grocery dollars here at Wedge Co-op. Their bulk section is wonderful: today I bought about an ounce of black peppercorns and just enough peanut butter cups to chop into a fro-yo treat I’m making for Sausage Saturday.

A Glimpse of Things to Come

Chatted with a guy who was testing a delivery robot. He works for a local company that plans to take on the likes of DoorDash and Uber Eats. They're evaluating different designs: the turning radius of this one is too wide. As we parted, I wished an optimal design in his future.
