Minnesota has art? I can't wait to see it (not that I would recognize art if I saw it anyway). The art of the deal - Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou - I really art to know better I suppose. Looking forward to following along.

You make it sound most interesting. I will be following and bike touring vicariously. ;’-).

Blessings upon you, dear one.

Goddess, your wish is my command.

Are you going to show us around the Walker? Pretty please?

I think the storm in Chamberlain started as soon as we got into town. We waited it out in a restaurant, and the stayed at a seedy motel. My memory might be faulty, as we dodged a lot of lightning, rain and wind on the trip.

Total goofiness? You must have the wrong journal... Or not! 🤣

So, I remember reading most of your Undaunted Porridge journal before, but your comments made me think I should check back on it today. Mostly I wanted to see how you handled the wind and hail in Chamberlain. Then I saw other exciting stuff--like Jen's wounded leg and your total goofiness. Don't be surprised if I send a few additional comments on that journal in the next few days.

Yes I grew up in St. Louis and started following the Blues as a youngster when the expansion happened in 1967. I was obsessed with goalies, particularly the ones who still didn't wear masks at that time, like the Gumper.

Great video clip--one of an uncountable number of hilarious Barney Fife scenes.

Hi Mr. Grumby, and thanks for all the messages you sent last night. I'll try to answer a bunch of them, beginning with the great Gump Worsley. I cannot believe I forgot that interesting character. I'm also pretty surprised you came up with that Minnesota name. Are you a hockey fan?

I'm glad Jim still has what it takes.

Looks like my kind of wine tasting- an REI mug and Tootsie roll.

It's a skill worth developing for sure.
