Your blog is pretty good, when you stick to subjects you have experience and knowledge in.

Not by a method I would particularly endorse, either. This AM on MPR there was brief mention of a cyclist on one of the freeways causing a snarlup. I thought she said 494 & Franklin, which makes no sense. Did anyone hear anything about that? Looks to me like he’s not travelling along hiawatha, but crossing hiawatha.

I have to yank my dog over and walk around them. What is the deal? We do not live in London, Dublin or Sydney, right?
