Three kids are playing or doing whatever in their backyard. I can’t see them, I can only hear them because they’re all yelling at each other.
Suddenly, the voice of what is likely the father drowns them all out with, “You better shutup all that screamin’!”
I’m not questioning this parenting method at all; I’m just telling the story as a fan of irony.
(Additional irony is that this follows the “Peaceful Waves” post. Serenity now!)

This house at 738 N. Central Ave. in West Duluth was ripped down yesterday to make way for the new Laura MacArthur Elementary School. I think the new school will be great, and I have no particular reason to be sentimental about this house or any of the others on the block, but there’s something that punches me in the gut when I watch a house get smashed to bits.

Ten new members were inducted into Denfeld High School’s Hunter Hall of Fame on Saturday. At the end of the ceremony, descendants of Robert E. Denfeld and Walter Hunting were brought to the stage. Although the phrase “Denfeld Hunters” has been around since the 1930s, the Denfeld and Hunting families had never met before. (Photo by Butch Williams)

“Most luckiest” indeed, as Sarge has thrown at least one behind-the-back pitch every game this season without success, knowing eventually he’d land one. The batter seems frozen in disbelief, not even considering taking a swing.
