The many moods of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. America's greatest wilderness.

Got back up here for the first time in 6 years, once again getting outfitted by Voyageur Canoe Outfitters. Minnesota at its best.

I’m not sure if it was the Loons game, the state girls volleyball championship or the Jens Lekman show, but Cosetta’s and West 7th were insanely busy tonight. This whole Twin Cities deal is pretty good.

I’ll have a ton of photos to share with you folks once I get through this run of shoots. But for now here are some photos of the Praire School Purcell-Cutts House from a number of years ago. A Minneapolis architectural gem.

I know some folks were asking for something like this (@meshm.bsky.social iirc) So I made a quick dot density map of the first choice Minneapolis mayoral results. This allows you to see two things that choropleth maps can't show... umn.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...

Buffalo’s Beef on Weck. Also a contender.

one of the worst aspects of sports fandom is dealing with certain male fans after a loss

there’s this bizarre and wholly online subculture of men who ostensibly love their teams, but their primary relationship to said team is expressed exclusively through a funnel of their depression

Quietly one of the best blocks to get something incredible to eat between the Twin Cities and Green Bay. Wausau’s Hmong Eggroll and Taqueria El Zabas rule.

I’ve been to Monument Valley over 30 times in the last four years and have seen over 100 sunrises there. The beauty of that place makes me humble and thankful for being alive. #monumentvalley

My brother and I met up in Green Bay for the Packers game tomorrow. Spent 3+ hours at a supper club up the shore and debated about the origins of tavern-style pizza for a good half hour of that.

I wrote about the should-be-illegal trend of fencing off sidewalks because poor people are nearby. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...
Using fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insult - MinnPost
Agencies and governments turn to fencing instead of actual solutions for problems related to people experiencing homelessness.

Funny, but not actually funny story. I think Raffi might have been the catalyst for my friends’ divorce. Do not DM him if you want to stay married.

Kosciuszko Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Basilica of St. Josaphat looms over the Lincoln Village neighborhood in the background. Modeled after St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, the Polish Catholic congregation built it in 1902 of salvaged materials from the Chicago Post Office.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Think the Brew Crew need to win one for the folks down at the George Street Pub.
Some day I'll get a round at La Crosse, Wisconsin's George Street Pub. The perfect Brewers bar.

Made it back to Cincinnati last month. Another Over the Rhine meander was a must.

I’ve been on way too many flights this year. I’ve somehow been in empty or partially empty rows about half my flights. Delta recently upgraded my status and the streak continues for two more flights.
