I took a one-mile walk with the dog this evening. Litter found (and picked up / disposed of properly) along the road:
– Minnesota trailer license plate
– The back of a child-size guitar
– Walgreens receipt for three pounds of epsom salts, nothing else ($3.44)
– Note reading: OFFICE MAX
– remains of a Deli Express sandwich container

Pickup Baseball Game
Sunday, July 19 | 3:30 p.m.
Chester Bowl Park
That’s baseball, not softball. This is a pickup game for grownups who can’t remember the last time they felt the ol’ wood smack the cowhide. Pitches will be lobbed, not that anyone who can throw hard will show up anyway.
There’s nothing official about this game, I just got the invite and was told to spread the word. If there’s an organized youth soccer game or something else going on at Chester, the game might get moved to Woodland or something, so it might help to show up on time if you want to be in the know about a possible relocation.

Article from the DNT today that I found somewhat unusual:

This story just went up on the News Tribune web site and I swear they are using the cubicles from their office. I remember an earlier post that talked about the same things and this looks familiar except last time they took the image down fairly quickly. Am I crazy or am I right?
Bohemia Arts is revamped and revitalized, and is looking for artists to show work. We are currently seeking artists for monthly featured shows, general showing, teaching, and demonstrations.

After the Friday & Saturday night performance of “Matt & Ben” at Teatro Zuccone (Superior Street) stick around to hear Lucie Amundsen’s self-effacing stories of everyday drama.
Many of these works have been heard on Minnesota Public Radio and printed in Minnesota Monthly, the Star Tribune and other publications.
When Lucie is not actively embarrassing her family, she writes articles on everything from generators, faucet repair and how to make a lovely vase out of
corn husks.
(Matt & Ben Play is $15; reading after play is free and will start around 9pm)
Last night while driving on Arrowhead Road, I came upon a series of brick houses that all look alike. They are around Stebner Road and seem to be built in the 30s or 40s. They all seem to be on an acre or so of land and look identical. It seems that since they appear to be built in the 30s or 40s, they would have been out in the country when they were new. Was this an old housing development, kit houses or anything interesting or just a developer with one design?
