I wonder how my bread made with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee
Honey will taste.

What happened to the King Manor, third floor drinking fountain?
I have no idea how long this drinking fountain has been
temporarily out of order, nor how many more days it will take before it will be
repaired.

I found this State Farm advertising sign, Part 2
Someone censored the graffiti. This censorship was done by a random
passerby. If that censor was a State
Farm employee, they would have replaced the entire sign with a new sign.

Is your player character a descendant of a deity?
Human history has examples of royal families claiming their
right to rule by claiming that they are the descendants of deities. For example, the ancient Egyptian royal family
was considered descendants of gods. Also,
the concept that the emperors and empresses of Japan are descended from gods
was enshrined in the Shinto religion.
This happened in Japan’s earliest histories, as well as in the 1889
Meiji Constitution. Article 3 of this
constitution stated in its entirety ‘The Emperor is sacred and inviolable’.
This background as a descendant of a deity would work with
the Noble background.

What I found posted on King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board for April 25, 2025.
Without me, who would document the everyday events that
happen in our North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center?
The Moon-Star family tree in my D&D campaign world
An important event happened at the creation of my
D&D campaign world, a variant of the world of Toril otherwise known as the Forgotten
Realms. A Celestial and an adult Silver
Dragon fell in love and then had a child that over many years became Lord Apex, the God of good dragons. Over many centuries, Lord Apex fell in love
and then married many mortal women. Lord
Apex said that his children are as beautiful and the Moon and as bright as the
Stars. Thus, he named his family’s last
name Moon-Star.
All members of the Moon-Star extended family have trace
amounts of Celestial and Silver Dragon in themselves. This means that if these descendants
have light and hope, joy and friendship within their hearts, they have the ability
to activate the abilities of that ancestor Celestial (such as Healing Touch)
and that ancestor Silver Dragon (such as Detect). The stronger the descendant becomes, the more
of these very special abilities the descendant will earn.
In addition, Lord Apex considers all members of the Moon-Star family as part of his extended family tree. If politely and respectfully asked, Lord Apex will give what he considers the correct amount of aid and/or apprenticeship to any members of his extended family.

Free-Mo Model Railroaders in Duluth, Minnesota - Part 3
What type of scenery do you love on model railroads? Do you love urban scenery?
This bridge is modeled on a bridge within Dinkytown, a commercial district within the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The McDonald's restaurant on the layout has been replaced with Identity Dinkytown a luxury student housing complex. This building is near the Dinkytown Greenway.
Or, do you love rural scenery?
Free-Mo Model Railroaders in Duluth, Minnesota - Part 2
I
found the model for the Greenville Shops.
I
see that railroad fans have many names.
These people are called railway enthusiasts or railway buffs. Other names for these people include anorak,
gunzel, or train spotters. However they
identify themselves, most of these people will eat their meals at the local Burger King.

I saw the Sneak Peek Showcase.
I saw CinemaCon’s best teaser
trailers, without having to spend hundreds of dollars to attend that
convention. I know that it was well
worth the $3.27 to see this Cinema
Foundation event.

Spilled food on Superior Street
I have no idea why someone would open a box of raw (uncooked)
pasta and then leave it on the sidewalk.
Dietitians warn us that eating raw pasta is bad for our health. I do like the slogan, “So we grow our
yumminess from the ground up.”
“Hello spring” at North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center
Yet winter says, “Hey! I a’nt done yet!” Care to take a bet that the May seventh, 2025 free meal and bingo at the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth will be cancelled by a winter snowstorm? After all, “The latest in the season it has snowed in Duluth, Minnesota is May 28 which happened in 1965.”

Pastoret Terrace’s Last Dance, Part 2
I see that
the basement walls appear to be made of haphazardly placed cut stones.
The site
is now covered over with a layer of dirt.
Pastoret Terrace’s Last Dance, Part 1
I woke up
to a cloudy day in Duluth, a common occurrence.
I saw a
big truck removing the rubble of a historic building.

About the artist
I hope to someday hire this artist to create art based
on my Angry Cab Comic, and Dungeons and Dragons modules.
Yesterday, I ate my very good meal at the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth
This is my very good (free) meal.
This is my cheesecake dessert.
This is the schedule for the month of May 2025.

Yesterday, I attended Barb Findley’s second Celebration of Life party.
Barb’s family and friends, who attended this Celebration
of Life party, wrote down messages about Barb to Barb’s relatives. The quote I found online with the arrow and
check mark is my message.
Barb’s Celebration of
Life party was held in the North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center.
The text that’s below “What is a funny story you have with Barb” is an event
that happened to me.
I am happy that Barb’s family and friends came together
a second time to celebrate her life.

Protest signs I found at the ‘Hands Off!’ Day of Action protest
I believe that the United States is no longer a nation
of Democrats vs. Republicans. We are no
longer a nation of Liberals vs. Conservatives.
We have become a nation of Patriots vs. Traitors.
After Stalin died in March 1953, Russia had a series of
reforms named De-Stalinization. I
believe that after President Trump leaves office, there will be a series of reforms
named De-Trumpization. I wonder if I’m
the first one to coin this word.

I saw “A Minecraft Movie”
I enjoyed watching this American, fantasy adventure
comedy film. I found it was worth the
money I spent on it. The characters
reminded me of the people in my past Dungeons and Dragons gaming group.

My chocolate bread
My bread, made with Faretti Decadent Biscotti
Chocolate Liqueur, is a favorite with those who tasted slices of it.
New Street in Duluth
I see that North Sixth Avenue East is being extending
downward to East First Street. To my
mind, that new street looks like it is too steep to be driven on safely.

Heroes of the Borderlands, Part 18
18. Here is one way to give your player characters a logical reason to adventure around the Keep of the Borderlands. I would have the king or queen of another tribe of kobolds, who live a seven days journey from the river valley tell the PC party this:
“An extended family of kobolds were deceived to move to the Caves of
Chaos. Then, once they arrived at the
Caves my fellow kobolds were murdered by an evil priest, to be turned into
zombie kobolds. I will pay your party
four hundred gold coins (can be negotiated to pay up to 800 gold coins) if you
destroy all the zombie kobolds for me.
Two of my strong bodyguards, Verdad and Falso, will join your group to make
sure that all zombie Kobolds are destroyed.
My two bodyguards will fight to protect themselves and your party
members in a quest setting my friends and family free from their undead
existence.”
Yesterday, I attended the ‘Hands Off!’ Day of Action protest held at the Duluth City Hall Plaza, Part 2.
I agree that “We are Democracy” and the other side is
dictatorship.
I would love to someday buy an engraved brick that says,
“Buchanan Family Loves Duluth”.
Yesterday, I attended the ‘Hands Off!’ Day of Action protest held at the Duluth City Hall Plaza.
On Second Street, I walked by this snow bank on the way
to the protest.
I could not agree more with that statement.
