This is food that I bought from the DQ 5-Dollar Value Menu

This is my end of the month meal.

I got loaf of bread made with Sprecher Wisconsin Maple Root Beer

Everyone who has eaten this bread told me that this bread’s flavor very good.

What is posted on King Manor’s Fourth Floor bulletin board?

I see that old posters have disappears, while new posters have appeared.

Plaza Shopping Center: Super One Foods of Duluth, MN

Cybercrime is diminishing my life.  In this case lowering the number of food options that I have this week.

Double yolks

This is my first time seeing double yolks in one egg.  According to the Egg Safety Center, double yolks are perfectly safe to eat.  Also, it is said to bring good luck when you find them.

I am reading “The Duke's Only Daughter” (spoiler alert)

(This is my spoiler alert for those people that have not yet read this wonderful story.)

This is a story of how a young woman’s mind is reborn inside the body of the Duke's Only Daughter (named Alyssa) in her favorite computer game.  According to Chapter 16, Juha’s World has five character levels.  These levels are based on how significant their role is in the main story.  A letter carrier that might only appear once (an extra) gets 1 star.  While the main characters that move the plot forward get 5 stars.  Thus, the only way to increase a player character’s rank is to increase your impact on the main story.

In other words, ‘Impact on the main story’ is more important than ‘character status.’  I would love to have a team of game designers create a tabletop role-playing game based on these game mechanics.  That would create a fun and original game where players play their characters to change the story, instead of increasing their levels in a professional trade, such as bard or fighter.  This would increase the incentive to talk to NPCs and less incentive to kill them and then loot their things.

Also, how does the Dravane family make so much money to afford so grand a home and so grand a lifestyle?  Is all of their money earned from fighting monsters; or do they have a home similar to George Washington's Mount Vernon, such as a working farm and a large distillery.  Perhaps, the family brewmaster will invent a new type of malt liquor and name it Alyssa.

Grandma's Marathon 2025 supporters on Superior Street

I love how the light reflects off the side of the Holiday Center shopping mall.

School busses at Grandma's Marathon 2025

The runners need to return to their homes by these school busses.

Grandma's Marathon 2025

I have not seen this type of pedestrian bridge across Superior Street, until this year.

Festival of Sail Duluth ® July 10-13, 2025

I am planning to attend Duluth's Festival of Sail ®.

Michelina’s All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Dinner

What type of meal will twenty dollars get me?

This is my main course that I ate with gusto and zest.

No Grandma's Marathon meal is complete without Ben and Jerry's American Dream ® Ice Cream.

I got a four pack of Sprecher Wisconsin Maple Root Beer

I wonder how bread made with Sprecher Wisconsin Maple Root Beer will taste.

Welcome Runners

I picked up a number of free gifts for B-I-N-G-O gifts at the North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center.

Grab a plate

This is the events calendar for the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth, Minnesota.

Graffiti at the Central Hillside Farmers Market

Once again, I found a cute bunny in public places in Duluth, Minnesota.

My very tasty meal at the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth

I hope that in July, more people can attend these meals.

In addition, I won a five dollar bill at B-I-N-G-O.  Today was the first time I have ever won anything at B-I-N-G-O.

I attended the Central Hillside Farmers Market

This day, I bought healthy food from local farmers.

What I found posted on King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board for June 17, 2025.

I see that this bulletin board is ever changing, as old posters disappear, while new posters take their place.

This is my bread, made with a four-pack of Overboard Black Cherry.

I love eating my Overboard Black Cherry bread!

Excalibur Con 2025

I hope that some of my loyal readers will be able to attend Excalibur Con 2025.  It is nice that a group of gaming fans is able to create a fan convention in Duluth, Minnesota.

Is that fictional character on this poster a half-elf fighter & magic-user?

Bunny and Bear, graffiti

While cute, this graffiti is still graffiti.  I wonder why the Bunny and Bear artist can’t put their talents into making something useful, such as a series of family-friendly books.

I bought a Trailside Strawberry Basil 4 Pack

Next Monday, I’m going to eat bread made with Trailside Strawberry Basil.

No Kings! Duluth 50501 Protest, The end

I know that all human beings have the right to due process.

I found hats and signs on the fountain northeast from Lake Superior Plaza.

No Kings! Duluth 50501 Protest, Part 3

The “orange menace” is working to destroy the Constitution of the United States.  Also, he wants to destroy the ideas written into the Magna Carta, and then rule over the United States as an absolute authoritarian.

I took this image while riding on the DTA bus on Superior Street, near Lake Superior Plaza.

No Kings! Duluth 50501 Protest, Part 2

I have a feeling that for the next few years, that there will be more “No Kings” Protests.

Lake Superior Plaza was packed with concerned, patriotic, and thoughtful Americans.

No Kings! Duluth 50501 Protest

As a proud American citizen, I attended the “No Kings! Duluth 50501 Protest”.

I agree with her, as the only King I want is Aragorn!

I found a parking lot pothole

This pothole and trip hazard is located west of the crossroads of North Third Avenue East and East First Street.

Michelina’s ® All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Dinner

I am looking forward to having a Michelina’s ® Spaghetti Dinner at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.  For my good friends, I wish there was a 5 dollar senior citizen discount for this Michelina’s ® Spaghetti Dinner.

Yesterday, I bought a four-pack of Overboard Black Cherry

I wonder how bread, made with Overboard Black Cherry, will taste.

Yesterday, I got my bread, made with Risata ® Peach Semi-Sweet wine.

I know that peach bread is very tasty!

King Manor Fourth Floor bulletin board

There are few notices for June on this bulletin board.

Discarded drink bottle

I found this discarded drink bottle between concrete Jersey barriers at the intersection of East Second Street and North Fourth Avenue East.

Duluth fire hydrant

I see this fire hydrant is being used a clothing rack.

Half-eaten apple

I have found much food discarded on Duluth, Minnesota sidewalks.

Abandoned red hooded sweatshirt

Who would abandon a clean and new hooded sweatshirt on the west side of the North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center?

My very tasty meal at the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth

I got a handout itinerary of upcoming eating and drinking events.

This is my main course of meatloaf and potatoes.

This is my yummy dessert that ate with great gusto.

My dollars bills are in numerical sequence

This is the first time I’ve been aware that I was given dollar bills in the order that they were printed.

I found the Viking Octantis

Until I walked by the Viking Octantis, I didn’t know that this cruise ship is docked along the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center seawall.

Unless I can increase my income, this is the closest I’ll ever get to a seaworthy cruise ship.

To make my bread, I bought a bottle of Risata ® Peach Semi-Sweet wine.

This peach wine is “bursting with flavors of ripe, juicy peaches and a hint of apricot”.

I got my Tequila Rose ® Strawberry Cream liqueur bread

If you love Strawberries, you will love this Strawberry bread.
