Welcome to Minneapolis
Land of 10,000 (Refreshing) Lakes

It's summer.

It's the best place in the world to be.  The City of Lakes, Bikes and Beer are in active form and the fleshy, shirtless Minnesotans remind us of this.

As long as my wireless covers the back porch, I'll keep you in the loop of this wonderment.

H.G. Wells

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. 


H.G. Wells, a futuristic author, amongst other things, in the late 18th century. Coined the term time machine, and is credited with popularizing the idea of time travel.

His stories are still being adapted - the latest was the Steven Spielberg shot at War of the Worlds.  I actually haven't seen it, but I'm sure Tom Cruise is feels calm and collected at the heart of alien cross hairs.

Wells believed in socialism, wrote science fiction and married his cousin.  I'm sure his lunch money was not asked for, but taken.

Either way, still interesting guy.  Download his books for free at Wowio.
