Duluth News Tribune Editor Robin Washington got one thing right in his column this week: The DNT is not good at promoting itself.
Washington announced that city hall reporter Brandon Stahl has been promoted to investigative/special projects editor and noted some other staff shuffling. It’s supposed to be good news. It shows that the DNT intends to focus more on investigative journalism. That’s what readers want, right?
Monday, 7:30 PM, Zelda Theater in the Depot
In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the integration of segregated schools in America, including their events. In 1970 the town of Charleston, Mississippi, finally allowed black students into their one high school. White parents refused to integrate the school Graduation Dance, starting a tradition of separate, parent-organized White Proms and Black Proms. In 2008, it changed. “Prom Night in Mississippi” follows the disturbing, surprising, and hope filled steps to the first integrated prom at Charleston High School.
This is the second in the series of three “Free Movie Mondays” offered by the Duluth Art Institute. Tour the exhibit “National Geographic Greatest Portraits” for free from 6:30 to 7:30 then join everyone in the Depot’s Zelda Theater for a movie that provides a portrait of racism in our country today.
I spent the holiday getting my tires/tie rods/alignment replaced/done. If that doesn’t say holiday, I don’t know what does. It was hours upon hours at the service center, me without my laptop and not much to do.
Guy comes in with a combat wounded plate. Service shop is finishing up his transaction and employee says, “Thanks for your service, were you in Nam?”
Turns out he was. Turns out the customer service guy was as well. They talk about locations/dates and it turns out that it is highly possible the guy selling tires once upon a time flew the customer in a helicopter someplace over the jungle in Vietnam. Wow, they can’t make this up. Pair of them tell a few stories, shake hands. Thank each other for their service.
A 20-something woman waiting in line behind the Vietnam vet is waiting less than patiently. Vet leaves. Woman says something like, “What’s all the fuss?”
Just another day at the auto repair shop.
May was a great time for homegrown music. June is shaping up to be the month for homegrown theater.

I saw this on a UMD bulletin board among all the “House for Rent” and “For Sale” fliers. It made me laugh.
So, I’m walking down East Third Street, minding my own business, and a middle-aged man with a goofy smile on his face asks me: “Are you talkin’ it off or walkin’ it off?”
Is that some kind of expression? What could it possibly mean? Did I hear him right?
I’ve found that it’s best in these situations to just say something quickly and politely while continuing to walk, so I just said, “Walking it off,” and kept going.
But now that interaction is bugging me. The only implication I can think of is that maybe I’m supposed to be walking off a hangover, which I guess sort of makes sense. But how would somebody talk off a hangover? And since I wasn’t talking, shouldn’t it have been obvious I was walking it off?
Who has contact info. for the Fractals? I’d like to get a hold of them about a potential gig. Thanks!
Reading Duluth News Tribune reporter Brandon Stahl’s series of stories on problem properties in Duluth made me think of the Murder House.
I have one entry left for Grandma’s Half Marathon. First one to call Security Jewelers 218-722-6633 (ask for Carrie or Wynette) and is willing to make a check out SMDC Childrens Hospital for $150 gets it. $75 of the $150 is tax deductible.
I have auctioned these entries on ebay in the past with proceeds always going to local nonprofits and usually get anywhere from $300-$1,000. $150 is a bargain for this sold out event and it goes to a great cause.
Did you like Ally McBeal when it was on the air? Are you devastated that Law and Order is getting the axe after almost twenty years? Isn’t the law totally rad? Do you think books add ambiance to a room? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then here’s a deal for you:
I have to get rid of over 1,500 law books — American Law Reports (ALR), Supreme Court Reporters and Federal Reporters (and their supplements). The Federal Reporters are not a complete set, but the ALR and the Supreme Court Reporters should be.
They need to go and they need to go by the end of summer (preferably mid-to-late July). Use them as paperweights, make a coffee table out of them, stack them against your wall as a sound barrier for your noisy next door neighbor, make secret hidey holes for your flask — the possibilities are endless! Come grab some books and get creative!
You must pick up, I will not deliver. Take as many or as few as you want. Businesses are welcome! Reply to me at eutyro @ lasnem.org and I will email you back and give you a time and location to pick up your new treasure!
Thanks for looking!

I think plant.
We just moved to Lakeside and our cat decided he wanted out. His name is Mingus, he is all black with a small patch of white on his belly. He left on Mother’s day and has been gone since. If you see him please email me at jakesandmingus (at) yahoo (dot) com.
Community more than anything is synergies. Cooperative adaptation. The more. The multiplier. Goodness passing among us as an expression of the real love we can will ourselves to feel for every person we touch, and we actually touch all of them.
