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.

Solid, Liquid, Gas


The route 4 bus running north and south on Bryant Avenue passes a park at 31st Street. As I passed the park this morning, from a fogged window, I witnessed the following:

In 20 degree weather, at 8:00 in the morning with the sun not quite up, a guy dressed head to toe in Carhartt stood in the middle of park.

Mr. Minnesota stood by a truck. The truck was connected to a hose. The hose was being held tight in his hand as it blasted glacier-cold water over a field that was already covered in frostbitten ice.

Appearently, with all of the above freezing temperature we've had the last few days, the snow hasn't been growing as well as anticipated.

Just another Minnesota nuance you have to appreciate.
