Literary Quote

“The foreman was a short, iron-jawed man. He had once made a trip as far as Duluth. Duluth was far across the blue waters of the lake in the hills of Minnesota. A wonderful thing had happened to him there.”

— Ernest Hemingway

from Part One, Chapter One;
THE TORRENTS OF SPRING
(1926)

My Morning Rhymes

In the morning at the crack of dawn down in Canal Park, I watch the sun breaking through the grim dead of dark. I stand behind a counter to make sure people get their smokes, and watch the kids run around with their different folks. The hillside is coming down so they all can get their toaks, no drinks so they all got their different strokes. Yes, sometimes I choose to be under influence: of my brothers, my sister, or just my common sense. Hence, I make my own decisions seeing life with my own vision, and with great precision I thee wed this great division. So to all of you today, I say, test a water that’s uncharted, cause this is my day, and I’m just getting started.

Quack Quack

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.

Duluth’s Northern Waters Smokehaus on Food Network

Is the episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives involving local joints posted anywhere on YouTube or foodnetwork.com?

I missed the episode and want to see it.

Emergency Vehicles on the Lakewalk

What’s up? Daily, ambulances, police cars, and now today fire trucks, rescue vehicles, even the water boat were all present on the Lakewalk. Training perhaps? Seagull attacks? We’re just not sure.

“The North Shore” car window sticker

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?

London Road Area PDDers

My cat is missing. His name is Cuthbert Burbage and if you see him please contact me, Lawrence, at ironic1@ ironic1.com. He was last seen near the corner of London Road and 52nd Avenue East around 9:15 this morning. Thanks.

Update: He’s back! My neighbor saw him and let him back into my house while I was out!  Thanks for all who kept their eyes open!

Panna Cotta

Where can I buy it in Duluth?  Bought some awesome frozen ones at Trader Joe’s in Mpls.

Live Cuban music Tuesday at Carmody

Minnesota native Andrew Turpening has lived in Cuba and studied Afro-Cuban music at the National School of Arts in Havana. He’s pulled together some equally talented friends for a little benefit for the Pastors for Peace aid caravan/blockade challenge to Cuba. Expect Cuban standards (think Buena Vista Social Club), a little classic Argentinian music, and dance…

Gathering on Superior St?

Today at about 1pm I was headed down East Superior Street, and in front of the DAIP building there was a crowd with some telescope-ish looking items. Does anyone know what was going on or see it as well? I was quite confused, since they were all facing toward the Sheraton.

Where in Duluth?
