A meteorologist, a loon, a nittany lion, a bear, and a lot more while being on the left. Originally from Honey Pot, made a stop in Toronto, currently in the north end of St Paul.
watching BB this evening, they just had a veto challenge on a disco floor. and while the theme and clothes were cool, I was so hoping that CBS would have sprung a couple of extra bucks to play Actual Disco Hits during the challenge. Some Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Abba, EW&F, The Hustle, Le Freak, etc
if you're in MN or WI and haven't voted in the state primary election yet, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

Given the Colombian 7+ quake this morning, the recent Venezuela twin 7+ quakes, and even a few on some Caribbean islands in the last year or so. Anyone wondering why the South American tectonic plate is getting a bit frisky attm with the Caribbean plate?
Sad evening in my apartment building. The guy across the hall from me apparently has been dead for several days. I knew something was suspicious when he didn't pick up his package outside his door for a bit more than a week. But damn. I hope his family was notified. 😓
the only way I can describe the Loons offense right now: (fill in with your non-fcc-friendly person or thing) is scoring more often than the Loons attm. #mnufc
www.bbc.com/news/article... Why can't we call this as it is? It's stagflation folks.
Surprise fall in US jobs last month as slow summer continues
Analysts had expected an uptick in the number of jobs created, but the number of roles fell by 23,000 in July.

Welp, as an FYI to penn stater's, I got an email from the on campus creamery that they are now cashless as of Saturday. Only debit and credit cards accepted.
don't know what happened, as I just got home from work. but Maryland Ave between Park and Sylvan (near Sylvan Park) is closed off by SPPD attm. have to go thru there? might want to go around. #msptraffic #stptraffic
if your UA bird isn't already in the air, looks like you may be waiting a while.

well, the weather here today in the 651-612 seemed a lot like the forecast Walter Kronkite gave to Roosevelt D Roosevelt back in the early 70s. good thing it will be slightly cooler tomorrow and much less humid.

cheers to St Paul this evening for finishing the repaving on Jackson Street between Regions Hospital and Phalen/Pennsylvania blvd. what a difference when coming home. it's no longer a PA-quality section of road but one more typical of Minnesota cities and towns.
CNN report: Federal immigration agents lied to prosecutors during Operation Metro Surge minnesotareformer.com/2026/07/23/c... and people at AMS in IAH wondered why I reacted how I did on the Saturday morning when I picked up my AMS Annual Mtg badge after hearing the news.

Many of the federal prosecutors would wind up departing in protest.

Good news: Spain Wins 1-0. questionable news: wondering if 47 will have a fit giving the trophy not to Millei's team, but to the team of a country that disallowed bombers to fly over Spain's Airspace a couple of weeks ago.
no question on that goal. Spain 1, Argentina 0. #FIFAWorldCup
and Argentina gets a red card via double yellows at the 90+2'. 10 men the rest of the way for Argentina. and no subs remaining.
Madonna going with this song to start the #FIFAWorldCup halftime show? I would have gone with "Vogue", but it could be worse. but I do like the Muppets "Electric Circus" doing "7 Nation Army".
ok, so how many Razzie nominations for "Worst Acting in a Sports Event" will we see today? #FIFAworldcup #Final #ESPvArg
I know maybe this is out of my league, delving into a bye-election in the riding of Clacton in the UK. but given the state of politics globally attm, my only words are : Why the heck not? better him than Nigel Farage.

wonder if Phil is in his bunker underneath Gobbler's Knob right now with a tornado warning in the area.

as I head to bed tonight for another 10hr shift at work tomorrow morning here in St Paul.
meanwhile, it looks like a severe outbreak is about to develop in the Laurentian Mountains north of the St Lawrence, cross the river and head through the Eastern Townships before hitting up the border guards in Vermont, New Hampshire, and NNW Maine. fun fun fun in the wilderness.
looks like Spain won the "Battle for the Pyranees". But up next, I wonder who will win "Rumble in the Falklands 2" between England and Argentina.
damn. it sucks for the Aurora to lose in PK's in the USL-W semifinals. hopefully next year. 😢
wow, in the Aurora v Salmon Bay match for the USL W semifinal. a rare PK for an intentional handball in the box when a Salmon Bay player thought the ball went over the end line but never actually did. PK converted by KItagawa, and it's 1-0 MN.
