the metrodome is a dome again!

so, i was biking through downtown, and noticed that the roof of the Mall of America Field at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome has been re-inflated!!

i wonder if that swastika is still in the center of the roof?

did somebody in minneapolis get raptured?

this morning, i noticed these clothes in an exterior corner of minneapolis' main post office.

sure, it's possible that somebody left a pair of inside-out boxer briefs, a pair of shorts, and 2 (folded!?!) t-shirts for a reason, but could it also be proof that at least ONE minneapolitan has been found to be righteous?

free panties on franklin ave!

so, while heading back to the car after my friend JLJ
and i enjoyed a couple DElicious slices of the Veggie pie
and the Pizza Luce on Franklin, i noticed 2 cardboard
boxes on the Luce side of the sidewalk that would be in
the middle of Milwaukee Avenue if it continued north.

naturally, we investigated and discovered that the boxes
contained mostly clothes and a pair of tongs.

the tongs enabled further investigation without having
to actually touch anything in the boxes (except for the
tongs, of course, which we later decided were probably
the dirtiest things in there cuzza who knows how many
people checking out the boxes with those things!), but
upon finding these, what appear to be period stained
panties sorta stuck in blue scrubs, we decided to move on.


as we were walking away, a woman who was walking up
the block was all "hey, is that free stuff?", to which we
replied "help yourself!"

before we could get back into the car which was like
10 feet away, the woman had also discovered the panties,
and ALSO decided to keep on moving.

definitely NOT hardcore pawn stars

looks like somebody was less than happy with the offer they received for this tv...


or, maybe they were re-enacting the SCTV opening!! ;-)

the hexagon bar has a new fence

i was sorta partial to the "cattle fence", or whatever it was the hex had for the last few years, but
this looks super classy! it even has HEXAGONS in the design. clever!

as a bonus, it will more easily allow double-decker locking of bikes! well, as long as they don't harsh on the cool kids using that top top rail to lock-up to...

saw this flier at my local cub foods today.


it's great to see that in this world of ebooks and kindles that there are people who still believe in actual BOOKS.

although i haven't sold them any books yet, i did take a look at the cash-for-books.com website, and it seems pretty straight forward; type in the number on the back of the book, and they'll tell you what they'll pay for it.

the used book selling part is all online, but they say they'll come PICK UP your books, or you can drop them off at their minneapolis location.

might come in VERY handy if i ever get around to that spring cleaning!

Targhetto Parking Lot Ducks

Lake & Minnehaha Target parking lot.

i really, REALLY hope these Mallards are just resting, and that that hoodie is NOT their nest.
