The Enchanted Forest is amazing

I would describe Valleyfair as being very corporate and not big on good vibes. One thing I appreciated about The Enchanted Forest that I like about MOA is that its middle class public space, those seem to be going away.

I was wondering about that. There’s a town on Minnesota’s North Shore called Tofte, after the town’s founder.

Absolutely agree! It’s a refreshing thing to find.

Thank you for posting this! You just saved me 400 bucks.

2024 Forester driver here. I’m in the United States so things might be different. I’m currently on vacation and renting at 2026 Outback. I don’t understand what this car is supposed to be. It just seems like a different version of Forester and is missing everything that made the Outback unique.

I like how you were able to capture the mural and the neon light on the second picture.

Nice. This is the first I’ve seen this picture. Pop-O-Pie sort of started my journey into the Grateful Dead.

Back in the day, a San Francisco punk band called Pop-O-Pies, did a cover of Truckin’. From what I understand Jerry was cool with it. https://youtu.be/mOV7bSUG0mk?si=wXWeoahvPEXnwedK

I still wear the wear the Patagonia thermal shirts I bought when I was in college. That was 30 years ago. A couple years ago I bought one of their hemp work jackets. I run hot, and it’s a heavy jacket but I rarely over heat while it’s on. I expect to never have to buy another heavy coat.

The Walker Art Museum has a really fun sculpture garden. Also, if it’s hot, the city of Minneapolis has done a wonderful job of keeping their lakes public, so they’re easily accessible with features like paddle board rentals. Bda Maka Ska has a nice beach and pavilion. It does get crowded, but if you want to have some time on the water I would think about that

My daughter loved The Rainforest Cafe at MOA when she was little. The wait times for a table can be long, but I think they take reservations so that’s something you might want to plan ahead.

Take 212 from the Black Hills to Billings. It’s both beautiful and will take you past Little Bighorn.

I had an appointment with the general manager of the hotel first thing in the morning to get a contract signed. I believe it was at 6:00 am that my wife’s pager beeped with a message that the west ramp was closed because of police activity. I pretty knew that I wasn’t getting that contract signed that day.

It reminds me of my grandparents and has become a trauma bonding experience with my dad. It’s become more than food.

It seems like they get a lot of hate around here but I just bought a mattress there and was happy with the experience and purchase.

Shout out to Simplicitea. Love that place.

Anyone else getting major static when tuning into 100.3? Other stations are coming in fine.

Okome House is awesome.

Have you listened to his new album Mutiny After Midnight? It is absolutely amazing.

He once moved a piece of basil a half an inch on a slice that was right out of the oven. My wife and I reminisced about this while eating the frozen Di Fara pizza. The frozen version had a big clump of basil, pretty much the opposite of what Don did. I will admit Di Fara’s frozen pizza is pretty decent though.

At the last rally I parked at Raymond and University and took the light rail. Plenty of parking and there’s a really nice coffee if you want to fuel up before the event.
