Since the wind was out of the southeast I went over to St Paul to ride the Grand Round trail. Temperatures were perfect. I took the opportunity to do some more #dipping . Distance a little over 50mi.

On Sunday Feb 1, 2026, at a singing workshop in Talybont, near Aberystwyth in Wales, this group learned and sang ‘Hold On’ by Heidi Wilson. This video was made to show solidarity with the people of Minneapolis and beyond. (1/2)

Say hello to my little friend.

Found it while walking my dog this morning on the middle of our street, right before the rush of cars and school buses.

Will be taking it to the nearby lake later today.

Good morning from Minneapolis where it's summertime and the livin' is easy.

Quite early Tuesday morning it's 71℉; fair skies and barometer; light south winds; visibility 10 miles at the airport.

Isolated thunderstorms are popping up on radar to the southwest. Lots of crackling on the radio.

Today
Partly sunny, with a high near 89.

Wednesday
Sunny, with a high near 88.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
—from William Butler Yeats, "The Lake Isle of Innisfree"

Got out for a ride early today to try to avoid the expected high temps. Theme of the photos today is public art featuring bicycles. Total distance was 55mi.

With the cool temps, I tried out the River to River Greenway through the southern St Paul suburbs. I couldn't find how to get on it on the west side but it turns out that section is under construction. (Lots of bike trail construction happening in this area.) The part that was open was nice, hilly, parks, and one park heavily wooded (Kapoosia). Got a quick view of a smaller blue colored bird I couldn't identify. 35 miles total.

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.
