Sitting in my office on the Lakewalk. I heard a tap, tap, tap and looked up to see a mallard sitting on the window ledge saying, “good morning.” I tried to feed him Soy Chips.

There’s Reggae Fest and Blues Fest … and that’s it this year?
After doing a bit of searching, I don’t see ANY other music coming to Bayfront this year. If I am remembering right, there was some problems with starting/ending times of the (very) few concerts held there over the past couple years. Has Secret Service Entertainment totally given up on music there? I have to admit, the few times I have been able to see a show there … kicking back in the grass with a drink or two, and nice breeze off the lake … heavenly.
I’m a longtime lurker, and I trust y’all to know what’s going on in Duluth. So tell me, where did my summer music go? 🙁
Is the episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives involving local joints posted anywhere on YouTube or foodnetwork.com?

Our office ate lunch today at JJ Astor. I tried the walleye with harrisa and basil slaw. So Yummy! And with a perfect Duluth day like today, the view was, of course, amazing! Check them out in the former Top of the Harbor space at the Radisson.

The Bemidji City Council voted on Tuesday to return the beaver sculpture which had been removed from display over concern that decorations on it resembled a pudendum. DNT story here
Today is the first Wednesday of the month, and that’s when the emergency sirens are routinely tested, but today’s drill was a little unusual. The siren went off three times, and the middle siren was followed by a “tornado warning” and instructions to “take cover.”
I guess the snafu two weeks ago wasn’t an isolated incident.

A few weeks ago, a car passed me that had a window sticker that looked like the North Face logo, except it said “The North Shore.” I’d never seen it before, and it’s one of the first stickers I feel is worthy of putting on my car.
Anyone know where I can find it?
