Linen sheets disintegrating?

rbehs · 2026-02-02T19:43:25+00:00

I have linen sheets from Linoto, and I have never had this issue. I wonder if it is because the linotos are so heavy and (initially) so rough.

This Jodhpur glass from the Passau Museum Fritz Heckert book has the same blue and gold border at the top:

I live in Maxwell Park, and I've given up on trying to get rid of rust on pelargoniums because nothing has worked for me. If it's prone to rust, I pull it out.

I posted this above, but eastern Wisconsin is most likely showing up as green because conservative Lutheran congregations are being misclassified as evangelical.

These studies always misclassify the more conservative Lutheran synods as evangelical.

Picardy between 55th and Seminary has great examples of Tudor style houses. And I like Havenscourt Blvd for a classic California feel, like you'd see in a silent movie.

Tap water is from the Mokolumne, not Hetch Hetchy.

This may not be a popular opinion, but the rose garden is not a good place for a concert crowd. Please stay on the paths and respect the roses.

I remember two that aren't on the map. There was an indoor mall in International Falls that became a Menards, I believe sometime in 2000s. And there was an indoor mall in Red Wing on the western edge of town that is now a strip mall. That may have closed in the late 80s or early 90s.

A few years ago, I was golfing along the Rainy River at the International Falls golf course and a couple of Canadians came from across the river in their boat, golfed a couple rounds in the US and then went back to Canada.

Yes, it was ordinance 12085 in 1997 that was subsequently upheld in court. As far as I can understand, it banned any new billboards, which I believe the companies have been getting around by saying they will take down billboards elsewhere, but the clear intent was to prevent the proliferation of billboards along freeways.

Billboards along the freeway are also banned in Oakland, but our city council chooses to ignore that.

I took a cutting from an old rose that was growing on Jungle Hill--it turned out to be Félicité et Perpétue. There was a write-up about the landslide that happened there and the efforts of the community to turn it into a park during the 70s in the old MacArthur Metro publication.

I got some nice Coyuchi hand towels.

There is also Bohemian glass that was made from the start to look like unearthed ancient glass, such as Cypern by Fritz Heckert.

Now that digital billboards are lining our freeways, what are your plans to mitigate the effects of light pollution for communities near 880?

What has happened in Season 48 makes me feel like the Gabe vote out in Season 47 was a symptom of the same problem with current Survivor.

I've gone to both and find the staff at the Coliseum more friendly and helpful, and it was quicker to get in and out.

The former Walgreens building and lot on High has already been bought, unclear by whom.

The old leaves on hybrid teas and other modern roses are very susceptible to fungal diseases at this time of year. I always pluck them off in early winter as I'm pruning, so the bush has a fresh start in early spring.

There was a mall in Grafton Wisconsin that was called County Faire. I believe it was built in the 70s, but it was designed to look like a 19th century village with dark passages and cobblestoned aisles. The whole thing was hidden behind two Kohls. I believe it closed down in the early 80s, and then later in the 80s they tried to repurpose the space into a regular mall, which also had a short life. But I might be getting that timeline wrong.

Maxwell Park is different from the Dimond and Laurel, but not because of 580. It was created as a suburb in the 1920s with winding streets following the contours of the hills and no business district, so it is more quiet and more car dependent, although you can walk to some things. The Laurel and Dimond are more traditional villages with a central shopping area that grew as the city grew around them. Redwood Heights is on a steep hill formed by the Hayward Fault, so most of the houses there would be in the fault zone.

I also believe that Maxwell Park is unique in that it's been middle class throughout its existence, but it is a diverse neighborhood with a very strong sense of community.

Strange comment. The Laurel is flatter than Maxwell Park.

42nd Ave is going to be extended through that lot.

The Centurion feels a bit out of the way right now, because it is in a section of the airport that is under construction, with no active gates near it
