Hell yeah and I’m pretty sure it’s Tuesday too

Brrrrr, a certain Minnesota archaeologist opted to not wear a coat to the office today

Book cover of Pioneering With Taconite by E.W. Davis, featuring gray circles and curving red lines on a black background.

I’m digging the cool mid-century design of this book cover, published in 1964 by the Minnesota Historical Society.

When you're excavating all these little crown conchs like the one on the top that people ate and discarded about a thousand years ago, and then can walk 20 meters to the shore and pick up a live one. From southwestern Florida a few years ago! #archaeology #ecology

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

A t-shirt with the words Saint Paul Liberation Front and an image of cerberus biting a snake into pieces.

Look at this beauty that arrived in the mail today.

Charleston Heston in “Soylent Green” saying “Oh yes.”

Charleton Heston in “Soylent Green” saying “It’s people.”

Received an important notification that my mortgage company has changed its name from seemingly random initials to a nonsense word.

I have not, sounds cool to explore

How I arrived on Bluesky:

A beautiful fuzzy cat.

It’s so good to be back home with my best buddy Maggie

Monument with quoted text and human figures with a globe behind their heads.

Monument at the Masonic Cemetery in Des Moines yesterday: “Let every one of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for others.”

(we drove past some wild turkeys)

Hey turkeys!

A highway sign in the shape of Minnesota that says “Minnesota Welcomes You.”

Yay!!

T-shirt with text MY DAD IS EMBARRASSING.

Texted this to my daughter and she said “now that’s a good t-shirt,” this is such an outrage.

Honorable mention (?) to “Rupert Murdoch’s Death Wank” by The Massive Bereavement

One minute of the Grain Belt Beer sign and a train crossing the Mississippi River in Minneapolis

Probably tomorrow before we head home

You’ve got it, buddy!

I asked my father-in-law if he’d like me to take the cardboard box by the back door out to the recycling as I went. No thanks, he said, it’s a really good box and he’s going to put it in the garage for when they have some stuff to donate. This was a satisfying interaction for both of us, I believe.

Rhoda was such a lovely person.

Great sycamore branches, winter bare in the crown of the tree.

Good sycamore branches, or GREAT sycamore branches?

A stone building with a small dome and pillars.

Glendale Abbey at Glendale Cemetery in Des Moines, built in 1912 by the Iowa Mausoleum Company of Waterloo.

A lovely cat by a window with her paws crossed.

“Hello Kitty,” I say to the kitty who’s name is Kitty. She’s pretty great.

This is who runs this account

Or maybe she’s watching sparrows in the bushes idk
