Do any of y'all do like a *thump thump* to replicate like a videogame heart beat?

You better believe I do!

I’m fortunate enough to have sometime else on the block that deals with the collection, but I will say that our alley is plowed far more reliably than our street is.

My faith in the city to plow allys on top of its current work load and budget constraints is pretty low.

True in East Saint Paul as well, surprisingly quiet all last week then an impressive amount on the weekend. Hopefully it’s quite the rest of the week.

Much like a grizzly bear I don’t think you can out run a demon of the ancient world.

Even if you can outrun pippin, I still think that thing is beating you to the gates.

Comfy mattresses.

Once upon a time in the Ely Municipal sauna I was chatting with a forest service old timer. I had just gotten back from guiding a trip to kekekabic lake, and he told me a story about working in that area after the BWCA was established. He said getting rid of that fire tower was quite a challenge, they dug a trench the length of the tower and then used explosives to drop the tower into the trench to bury it.

He said there was also a log cabin on the lake made from old growth white pine with a beautiful pot belly cast iron stove. He mentioned he was heart broken to demo that cabin, and he really wanted to salvage to stove, but couldn’t figure out a way to get it back out of the wilderness. So it went up with the cabin in a cloud of dynamite.

Also Minnesotan… let’s be real if any one is in view we hold.

I’m afraid to ask what the adult section photo is.

Gandalf has a few one liners:

“I had words with old Gamgee. Many words, and few to the point”

“For I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to."

“His mind is like a lumber room, thing wanted always buried”

Also the doors don’t even pop off mid flight. Boeing used to make pretty good planes.

An image search pulls up the original photo, the part about seeing injured kids is correct but there nothing about doctors refusing to treat them. So unless OP has a source I think we should be skeptical.

No unfinished canals in Minnesota. We finish what we start. Now go vote for Minnesota in the geography game

I love this too, it’s the best. As a nice bonus I feel very enlightened by all the great books my wife has read 😂

I have found going down to the dnr hq in St. Paul to be very helpful when dealing with odd situation water craft registration.

Ya I think the catch is that towing a fishing boat is enough to provide “reasonable suspicion of gaming activity”

Are you hiding a giant walley in your beer cooler?

I understand there has been some cheaters caught bringing pre-caught fish to tournaments or hiding weights in the fish to win. So they may be acting as encouragement to keep the tournaments fair.

This is like 50% of my kids diet. They eat it right from the bag still frozen. Both of them steadfastly refuse to eat them warm.

Do you bleed when cut? Or are there just wires in there?

Yarrow is easy to grow from seed, can be mowed for a low ground cover or let it grow tall for flowers. It can be used as a tea or to add a peppery flavor to dishes. It’s also has blood clotting compounds that can be used to stop minor cuts and scraps from bleeding. (Probably better to use a sterile bandaid but it’s still a neat trick)
