The Immigrant Defense Network is letting everyone know that we are seeing an increase in federal activity across Minnesota.

The feds have a press conference scheduled for tomorrow regarding "fraud" investigations.

Please #BeCarefulOurThere but also report any sightings to your local groups.

My wife read a post from someone making the bold claim that a restaurant that shall not be named had better pizza than Broders.

We went to this restaurant and when I saw "pinneaple" and "buffalo chicken" on the menu, I already knew. Crust was too thin and cracker-like, sauce was way too sweet.

Just go to Broders.

I've seen lots of turkeys in #stpaul but mostly around Summit Hill a few blocks from Dale and Selby. They've moved closer to us, now -- this at Saint Clair and Cretin.

Personally, I would take more turkeys for fewer rabbits. The rabbit population around here is just bonkers. When I do my morning walks, most yards will have one to three rabbits just sitting there. You see them all day, too.
Writing that, it makes me think we could use some urban foxes. Years back there was a family of foxes whose den was literally under the State Capitol in Madison -- foxes can and do live in urban areas.

...which makes me wonder: why don't you see more of them? It seems like basic predator-prey population dynamics. Think of the classic Lotke-Volterra model. A few foxes could make their way into the urban area here, feast like kings, and reproduce like...er...rabbits.
