What I saw Sunday
Church was fairly full Sunday, the second in Lent, and I stood in back before the organ prelude, enjoying a cup of coffee and a couple introduced themselves, Tom and Jean, visiting from Washington, D.C. Interesting people. He is newly retired from the Defense Department, responsible for maintenance of nuclear stockpiles, and they were visiting New York simply because they like the city. I didn’t introduce myself: I like the city because I’m anonymous here.
Backing on the freeway
Question: The other day I was going down the freeway and I saw a vehicle that must’ve missed their exit as they were backing up near an exit ramp. This didn’t appear safe and I’m going to guess illegal. What do you say sir?

Gold town to ghost town
It was fairly brief, in terms of time, but it had a profound impact on northern Minnesota. A quote from a state of Minnesota geologist maybe encapsulates the Rainy Lake Gold account: “one great good will result from the rush to new gold discoveries, it will call attention to the country itself.”

Books with a northern focus
Hopefully we have well and truly entered the season of mud. I don’t like it, but know that we have to get through this season to get to spring. It is very easy to stay indoors in this season and read in the evenings (or knit). Thus far this year I am working hard at alternating my reading between light, cozy titles and heavy reading of a variety of genres. I’ve read non-fiction social commentaries, histories, literary novels that explore social issues, and a classic or two that just took more energy to read as the language was dense. Keeping up, at least nominally with the news, means I have to keep reading light, cozy titles to stay healthy.
