Bettye Lavette sold out the Dakota tonight. We’ve been following her for 20 years. Even at 77, she keeps developing her art.

Bedtime. I hadn't taken my photo of the day yet, so here it is. Except when there's a full moon, we keep the blinds half open. If I get up in the night I like to catch a glimpse of the city.

Worked on my LEGO gantry crane. Spent way too much time trying to get different versions of different software to play nice with each other across three computers.

While cycling along a North Minneapolis residential street, I came across a stupa (the bulbous white structure) and the sitting Buddha in the yard of a house. Elsewhere there were dozens of lotus sculptures and prayer flags. Via Google I learned this is a monastery.

Wallet Found, Owner Missing
|
|

Dwight found a wallet lying in the street containing 22 cards. There was no phone number or email address inside. Found phone numbers online and sent each a text asking the recipient to describe what they had lost. So far, no taker. Click through to see an official, easy way to return a wallet.

My friend and I walked on elevated boardwalks through Mill Ruins Park, which tells the story of the early days of Minneapolis when wood and flour mills lined the Mississippi River. The bent remains of an iron railroad trestle once supported steam locomotives.

On my cycle ride, came upon a cardboard village and castle. A camp counselor explained this was part of a summer camp, and the kids were on the other side of a hill practicing sword fighting. Later, one team will storm the castle while another team defends it.
