This style of headwear is one thing I would have liked to have joined in on, as a solidarity act, at the #NoKings protest on March 28, if I had known about it far enough ahead of time. I had only a cursory awareness of it beforehand; ditto with the #RebelLoon

Inside the DNR Building. It's simple: don't be a goon. Be a...you know. And you get TWO choices! It looks like the #MNUFC one assists the DNR as well

Missed this last week in the bees and honey exhibit in the Ag Hort building. This (and one or two other things) are loosely inspiring some apparel I've had an idea about; I had outerwear in mind

Rory!! Got to see her for the first time and of course I begin bouncing off the walls (doing WHAT??) -- some @mnaurorafc.bsky.social fun. And just before was Jack Brass Band: they were Entrant E Plus Sixteen at the Ted Bearth Grande Parade at #Oakdale Summerfest

Goldy, and the U of M Duluth mascot, Champ
There was photo-op time. A disadvantage of not having the benefit of companions is no photographer; I had to go without

The apple fries, a new food this year, have been much hyped and rightfully so. The line looked fearsome but it wasn't much more than 30 minutes. You can get them with whipped cream on the side in addition to the caramel: "deluxe" ($13) vs "classic" ($10)

I swear I’m the only person who leaves the #MNStateFair hungry.
I may complain about appliances, as I am one of the Olds, but there was an internal combustion engine powered clothes washer with the tractors and I will be forever grateful that I have never had to use one in my lifetime. #MNStateFair
This boy was so excited about rides yesterday that I took him again today. He is braver than I was at twice his age. #mnstatefair
Nice to see the temporary Flock cameras set up around the #mnstatefair. I'm sure all the people driving near the fair feel safer.
