This week? Early mornings, work, class, tax clinic, volunteering.
I took the dogs for an over-due vet visit. Gertrude was unamused.
She growled and snapped at the vet, so we had to muzzel her. Given what happened last time, can you blame her?
It’s about 10 p.m. I am halfway through another episode of The First 48, (my favorite TV show) when I hear an a-rappa-tap-tap in the kitchen.
Minneapolis had a heat wave this week. Temperatures climbed to the low 50’s. Roadways and sidewalks became visible. It didn’t hurt to be outside anymore – in short, it was gorgeous.
And then we got a President’s Day blizzard.
The snow is melting but I still have all these unedited snow-caked pictures! Excuse me while I toss them on the page for the record…
What a bizarre two weeks.
I had my normal schedule of work, class, lake trips, Jeset Bar dance-offs, and adventures around the metro:
I haven’t left the Twin Cities metro area in over a year.
Madre Jansen and I are plotting the next Miami-trip, but Halvers and I will probably take a trip to greater-Minnesota in the next few months.
Here are some pictures from my last trip to Greater Minnesota: Bemidji!
The morning dog walk was a disaster.
I load the dogs into the car and the radio informs me that the air temperate is -10 with a -25 wind chill.
I strolled into the Mall of America Barnes & Noble and stopped at the Nook e-reader desk.
A store clerk materialized and I drilled him with questions – is this 3G or wifi? How much memory does it have? How much space? Is it backlit? How does this compare with an iPad? Kindle?
The clerk explained that the Nook was for consuming content – magazines, books, etc. – and that the iPad was more useful for producing content.
