This is the kind of heroic Minnesota cold-weather prep story I love to hear.

Maybe somebody who had to get to a lake-level cabin lakewater system valve to drain it after all the boats were winterized could chime in with a story
Note to my biographer: Disregard all previous posts about having made “the worst omelette so far,” today’s omelette is the current worst
Turned into a pretty fun evening
The teens in our neighborhood know that no one wants leftover candy, so they roll in late and pillage
Was raining hard here at 5 when we set up, so we don’t have our usual bonfire, but our neighbors said fuck it at 6:30 and lit one
We’re having a pretty normal (busy) Halloween, despite the rain. Our block is pretty turned-out with decorations. I’m almost through two costco bags
That would be funny to roll up on a bike to push out cars
Nothing funner than pushing cars in a big snow!
You’ll never hear me complaining about pumpkin carving tools. Million times better than the knives we used as kids
Like the line in Guy Clark’s Dublin Blues:

I have seen the David, mmm-hmm
I’ve seen the Mona Lisa, too
And I have had smoked cod roe
Eaten straight out of the tube
The face of a dog who has just tasted Norwegian smoked cod roe straight from the tube.
I remember the terror I felt as a teen experiencing my first one. Good times!
Yep, but it was Shoot Out the Lights with his wife Linda that blew me away. I was young and going through some stuff that album had a lot to say about
Letting the record show that I am shutting up with advice on where to start but I’m very excited for you
The key to my equanimity is not watching scary shit
If you’re not familiar with Richard Thompson, there’s a lot of excellent stuff to explore, both electric and acoustic
“Smart boy”, two words I would not have applied to him. But the proof’s in the plodding, and we’re very proud
He’s very curious and treats when he investigates are keeping him interested. Shortly after the previous video he started to get the hang of it
Hmm, I added alt text to the above video but somehow I can’t see it? The video is of Wooster, a good-sized tuxedo cat, exploring a cat wheel our daughter assembled over the weekend. He’s just wobbling on the wheel so far
Wooster is curious about the new cat wheel. It appeared over the weekend and he was given treats for investigating it
People have told me “I like John Scalzi’s books” or “You should read John Scalzi’s books” but where I fault them is for not sitting me down with “Starter Villain” or “Redshirts” and making me read page 1 of either to get me hooked. I need to be led by the nose, people!
You love to see Otahni whipping around on the mound to watch one fly out
We do it this way and I recommend it highly
Looks like MN United went a little long last night, too
