Often I’ll be driving or riding around and see a television on the side of the road. Almost without fail it has a sign on it stating, “Solid Waste”. I believe this is required by the trash collectors before they are allowed to take something like this. However, this one is a little different: From […]

Submitted by my friend, Luke Taylor, a sure sign that winter is over and warmer weather is here to stay. One wonders, were these skis being replaced by newer, better skis? Or were the skis, like the pastime, quickly discarded when it was discovered that cross-country skiing is a lot of work? I’ve done it and […]

I was a few sentences into a post earlier today when I noticed it combined two topics that could easily become the overriding theme to this blog: inappropriate smart phone use and inappropriate public restroom behavior. I witnessed the double dipping this morning and being disturbed by the behavior, wrote a post. But, not wanting […]

This picture was sent to me by my nephew’s girlfriend, Emily. Most of my family and many of my friends have heard that I take pictures of free stuff so they’ve begun to take some pictures and send them to me when it strikes their fancy. The dog here is not part of the free […]

I saw something that made me really sad on Saturday, and much as I tried to let it go it still bothers me. I’m currently training for a marathon and as part of my training plan, Saturdays are long run days. When I was training last year I discovered quite by accident that Chipotle […]

I live in a 26 unit condo building. I have a great spot, top floor, views of Lake Harriet, relatively quiet, if you learn to ignore being in the MSP flight path. With studio and one-bedroom units, it’s not a family environment. There aren’t any children living in the building. Well, chronologically the residents aren’t […]

I see this sort of thing all the time. Usable items set out next to a trash bin. I’ve mentioned it before but it’s the kind of thing where I wonder if the soon-to-be-former owner of these items is just too lazy to put a free sign on it, or even too lazy to lift […]

Referring to someone as a douche, douchebag, douchenozzle or douchecanoe – one of my favorites – doesn’t have nearly the effect it once did. There used to be a certain haha shock value in suddenly calling out someone’s behavior with a quick, “Douchebag!” Perhaps there still is but it seems almost passe. That said, douchebag and […]

Sunday morning I found myself making an unexpected trip back to the bar which I’d patronized the night before. Not sure how but I’d managed to leave my credit card sitting on the bar when I forgot to sign the slip before leaving. Funny part is, I sat up in bed at 2:00 in the […]

I went to see Deadpool last Sunday afternoon. First off, it’s a great movie. Funny, irreverent, foul language, gratuitous violence and just about everything else you might think of to earn this an “R” rating. This is very much an “R” rated movie. I knew nothing of Deadpool, the comic, before the movie came out. […]
