Younkers Duluth is closing soon


I did find two blankets, both for just ten dollars, which I’ll give to Kathy as gifts from me to her.


I have never seen Disney’s Descendants and wonder if this is an entertaining series.

Canal Pork Sandwich at Grandma's Ice Cream Boxcar


This is a large sandwich for not much money.


Everyone who eats meat should have at least one of these yummy sandwiches at least once in their lives.

The First Presbyterian Church of Duluth is having roof replacement


Photo of the street detour was taken on the skywalk with Tri Towers to the north and King Manor to the south.


Image was taken of the closed bus stop in front of the construction zone.  Not much activity is happing due to the recent rainstorm.


The closed bus stop is making it inconvenient for me to take the bus to Super One Foods, my credit union, my favorite post office, or to the University of Minnesota, Duluth.

I bought my first banana flip for the first time this decade.


I must have eaten at least one hundred banana flips when I was a child.  I shouldn’t eat that many banana flips now as an adult as the first ingredient of banana flips is granulated sugar.


Yet, I do love eating my banana flips and hope to eat one or two more this year.

Three police cars where outside the Fond-du-Luth Casino.


While walking back home from buying a half gallon of milk from the Canal Park ICO Convenience Store; I saw these three police cars parked outside the Fond-du-Luth Casino.  I love nighttime photography, especially after a rainstorm where I get cool reflections off the wet pavement.

I bought Egg and Cheese breakfast pizza at the Hearthstone Café.


Located on the First Floor of Essentia Health Clinic, First Street Building, this Café has an amazing selection of healthy food every weekday.

This is the first time I’ve bought Jarritos.


Jarritos is a tasty drink and I’ll purchase this again sometime soon.  I always make an attempt to purchase something that I’ve never eaten or drank every time I shop for food.

My bacon pancakes, inspired by Adventure Time


I never thought that I would make a meal inspired by watching an Adventure Time episode.  However, I was inspired to bake Taiyaki by watching an episode of Clannad.  Have you ever been inspired to try out a food that you have never eaten before because you saw it within an animated episode?

My cheese breakfast pizza


I bought my pizza at Hearthstone Café at the Essentia Health-Duluth Clinic 1st Street Building.  This was a slice of very good tasting pizza.

Someone swiped my first flavored creamers empty box



When the first box of flavored creamers was empty, someone swiped it.  Although I can’t image why someone would need an empty paper box; I crafted a new one.  I used a slightly smaller font size and underlined the words “one” and “two” for emphasis.  Do these changes improve the appearance of the sign?

I also used the words, “per customer per day” because if I wrote “per customer per visit”; some smart aleck would take two creamers from the community room, step into the hall, and then step back into the community room again.  They would then claim they are visiting the community room for a second time to take two more creamers.

I saw Teen Titans Go! To the Movies



I had planned to see this movie next week.  But, when I checked the future movie showtimes list on the Marcus Duluth Cinema web page, I saw that the movie will not be shown next Tuesday.  So, I saw the last available showing today.

Spoiler Alert for Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

This movie was more entertaining than the average television episode of Teen Titans Go!  I would have given this movie a 6.5, but the surprise Stan Lee cameo put this movie up to a 7.5!

My hypothesis about Lightning Bliss’s inability to control her magic

Spoiler Alert:  The following text describes details from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Season 8 Episode 23 "Sounds of Silence".  If you haven’t seen this episode and don’t want that episode to be spoiled, please stop reading this now.

After I watched several online videos that feature the original character, pony alicorn named Lightning Bliss; I have asked myself this fandom question:  Why does Lightning Bliss have an inability to control her magic?

Lauren Faust commented that Princess Celestia embodies the traits of all three pony kinds: Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn.  Thus, I surmised that because an alicorn has the harmony of three different kinds of magic to draw upon that they are inherently more powerful with their magic than most other ponies that can only draw upon one type of magic: Earth, Pegasus, or Unicorn magic.

Lightning Bliss does not appear to resemble any of the five alicorns currently in the cannon series as of season eight.  Let’s consider Lightning Bliss’s hooves and her tail.  She has hooves and a tail that don’t resemble any of the standard three pony kinds.  In fact, the most similar species that have hooves and tails like Lightning Bliss are the Kirin.  If Lightning Bliss has one or more Kirin ancestors, then Lightning Bliss has four species within her; thus causing disharmony within her that creates her inability to control her magic.

Can we get to see Lightning Bliss’s family history and ascertain if there is one or more Kirin in her family tree?  Can anyone teach Lightning Bliss to achieve harmony over her four species to finally control her magic?  When Lightning Bliss does master her magic, does that mean that she will have more potential power than an alicorn?  What will that incredible power mean for those around her?  After all, the power of four species working in harmony beats the power of three species working in harmony.  Last but not least, Lightning Bliss’s unique genetics means that Lightning Bliss is the most unique pony known to the fandom, a very special honor indeed!

How Vice President Michael Richard Pence could become a well-regarded United States politician


Vice President Pence must work to remove treasonous and unqualified Trump from office to become the next United States president.  Allow me to explain my statement.

First, Trump is treasonous because he has done very little to penalize past or deter future attacks on elections within the United States.  Thus, Trump has not fulfilled his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”.

Second, Trump is unqualified to hold the Executive Office of the President because he had no prior experience as an elected office holder and has so far refused to learn much about his responsibilities as President.  Think of it this way, Michael Phelps is a great Olympian.  But that does not mean that Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer should hire Mr. Phelps as his starting quarterback.  Although with the track record of poorly thought out hiring decisions by the Minnesota Vikings, such as the disastrous Herschel Walker trade, something like hiring Michael Phelps as the Vikings starting quarterback could happen.

Second, ask Senator John McCain to become your vice president.

Third, resign the presidency that will allow John McCain to become president.  You will be remembered as the person who helped save American democracy from Trump who is a man only because he is human, male, and happens to be over the age of 18 years old.  Other than that, there is nothing manly about Trump.  You will also make John McCain, a true American hero an American president.
