Rode 42 mi (68 km) on my e-bike over the weekend to and from the Twin Cities Bird Festival at Mississippi Gateway Regional Park. Will post a few photos over the next few days!

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.

At #minnebar today they expect 1,600 (of the 2,000 people who signed up) to attend this free event. They estimate the cost at $50-60/person. I'm very impressed by this event and the enormous team of volunteers.

Good, bright morning to attend the 20th annual #Minnebar conference at the Best Buy headquarters.

My wife and I got last minute tickets to Sleuth at the Guthrie last night. It was fantastic, and the cast crushed it. I did not see the ending coming.

📰 "Duże somalijskie centrum handlowe o nazwie Karmel Mall zostało zamknięte na cały dzień. Przedszkola musiały zawiesić działalność, gdy ich pracownicy zażądali dnia wolnego. Pracownicy zmusili duże centrum obsługi telefonicznej AT&T do zamknięcia. Największy dom opieki w aglomeracji Twin Cities zorganizował obowiązkowe spotkania dla całego personelu, grożąc zwolnieniem pracownikom, którzy w nich wezmą udział, jednak te taktyki zastraszania nie przyniosły skutku i placówka stanęła w obliczu masowej nieobecności pracowników. Łączna liczba mieszkańców Minneapolis i Saint Paul wynosi mniej niż 750 000; w ten piątek na ulice wyszło około 100 000 osób, mimo temperatur poniżej zera. Można śmiało stwierdzić, że co najmniej jeden na ośmiu mieszkańców Twin Cities wziął udział w strajku generalnym."
