Raspberry45672

“Pawlenty should do a Sarah Palin and Step Down”

“Pawlenty should do a Sarah Palin and Step Down” that was something my friend Scott Yeazle said, speaking at a rally at city hall today. The rally was in opposition to the governor’s unallotment decisions. I’m not gonna try to be a real reporter or anything, I tried that years ago and was terrible at it, too much ego and opinion, too little filter.

Show and Tell: Duluth Welcomes Norway’s Royal Couple

This nice little button celebrates the dedication of Enger Tower. The King and Queen of Norway were on hand along with many prominent Duluth dignitaries. I’ve had this thing for more than 30 years. I think an ex-girlfriend’s mother was cleaning out a junk drawer and gave it to me.

Show and Tell

BridgemanRussellCoRuler

I have an old Bridgeman-Russell Company ruler. I don’t often think about how awesome it is, so I catch myself using it to do things like scrape gunk off a counter. For the sake of history, I’ll try to be more careful in the future.

Dance. Dance. Revolution.

Pastors for Peace are on their way to Cuba again to bust the U.S. blockade. They’ll either deliver 100s of tons of needed aid to the island, or land in prison.

Come on out to Lafayette Community Center on the Point this Tuesday, July 7 to send them off and shake your salsa thang.

  • 6PM Cuban dinner (veggie) and a speaker on the Cuban health care system
  • 7:30PM salsa lessons with Juliana Bertelsen… then we dance

Come for all or part of the evening. Cash donations for the caravan taken at the door. It’ll be fun. And humanitarian. Can’t beat that.

Palin 2012

No shit – I just saw a “Palin for President – 2012” on the digital billboard set up by the Enterprise Rental Shop. That went up fast.
