Sunrise over Lake Superior

This image was taken on the Blue Line bus, going from downtown, at the intersection of East Superior Street, South Tenth Avenue East, and London Road.

Anime Axcess at the University of Minnesota, Duluth

UMD’s Anime Axcess club should hold a join event with the Anthropomorphic Student Union, celebrating beautiful anthropomorphic characters.

I got my bread made with Italian Inspired Limoncello - Il Tramonto Liqueur.

My bread is made with cherry halves.

Thus, this is very tasty bread.

I attended the third annual “No Kings Day” National Day of Action, in Duluth, Minnesota, the conclusion.

My heart is filled with joy, like a pitcher of cold lemonade on a hot day, seeing that so many American citizens still believe in supporting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Despite the cold temperatures and overcast skies, I see many people walked here to support this just cause.

Will these protests be the resurgence of inclusive Democracy or the last days of inclusive Democracy?  Your support or your indifference in these interesting times will make a world of difference, for good Democracy or for criminal dictatorship.

I attended the third annual “No Kings Day” National Day of Action, in Duluth, Minnesota, Part 5.

I agree with the “No Kings” sign.

I agree that Peter Stauber did do that, while ignoring any of his constituents that he disagrees with.

These demonstrations began at the intersection of Lake Avenue and Superior Street, as well as at the Duluth Public Library.  These peaceful protesters then marched together to Duluth City Hall, where they listened to a program that was organized to support life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I attended the third annual “No Kings Day” National Day of Action, in Duluth, Minnesota, Part 4.

I found several of these donations signs posted around the Duluth Civic Center Historic District.

I agree that we must stop fascism; or that we then must accept that our nation and perhaps all of human civilization will enter a new Dark Age that might last for decades or centuries.

I support those patriotic American citizens who support inclusive Democracy, while opposing those who support authoritarian dictatorship.

I attended the third annual “No Kings Day” National Day of Action, in Duluth, Minnesota, Part 3.

I found “Signs of Fascism” in this event celebrating life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Yes, I agree that these criminal oppressions are fascism.

As long as live, I will oppose tyrannical kings and oppressive royalty in my United States of America.

I attended the third annual “No Kings Day” National Day of Action, in Duluth, Minnesota, Part 2.

I found a list of rational laws created by enlightenment thinkers vs. the criminal mind of tyrant Trump and his Trump chumps.

I agree with this statement:  “Democracy dies when good people are silent.”  Therefore, anytime and anywhere you see injustice, speak up about it.

I know that Peter Stauber now has the office once held by the late James Oberstar.  Peter Stauber is an embarrassing, political hack unqualified to shine James Oberstar’s shoes, let alone hold his office.

I attended the third annual “No Kings Day” National Day of Action, in Duluth, Minnesota.

I got to this “No Kings Day” demonstration as they were setting up the speaker stage area.  Across our nation and around our world, many people are working to stop the American nation from becoming an authoritarian dictatorship, ruled by a sick, sad, and stupid man who governs as a king.

I found messages that ask attendees to support this event and similar events in the future.

As a Communication major, all these temporarily messages put a smile on my face.

What I found in the Men's Restroom at 228 West Michigan Street, Duluth Transit Center.

Who leaves one glove and their drink on the restroom sink?

I bought a bottle of Italian Inspired Limoncello - Il Tramonto Liqueur.

Next Monday morning, I am looking forward to eating my tasty lemon flavor bread.

We must complete Minnesota’s Arrow Line Railway

“There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why?  I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”

- This quote was invented by George Bernard Shaw, and then popularized by Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) during his 1968 presidential campaign.

In the future, a group of hardworking people needs to complete the Arrow Line Railway.  This is a dream of a double track, electric railway planned to run between Minneapolis, Minnesota and Duluth, Minnesota.  As this construction project was started more than 100 years ago; it would be a great video subject for the B1M - Construction's Leading Video Channel.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.  Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

— George Bernard Shaw

This is the link to my Duluth News Tribune column that was then reprinted in Streets.MN.

I hope this railway will be at long last completed.

Doorway dump

Someone dumped their unwanted things in this doorway.  This building is on the crossroads of East First Street and North Second Avenue East.  I have found many subjects to document on my blog within a mile of my apartment building.

I saw “The Pout-Pout Fish”

The Pout-Pout Fish was a more entertaining movie than I thought it would be.  My close friends tell me that I should be writing family-friendly books.  I suppose that is the reason why I love family-friendly entertainment.

This is my bread made with Mr. & Mrs. T ® Bloody Mary Mix.

I have never eaten bread made with Bloody Mary Mix.  This tomato concentrate, sea salt, and Worcestershire sauce bread makes a good breakfast bread.

I love contrasting things, people, and ideas.

A friendship between a fictional bunny and a fictional bear are 2 contrasting creatures that overcame their differences.  I found this graffiti on the south side of East Third Street and near the intersection with North Third Avenue East.

Hot Stove Night Presentation: Part 3 of 3

The 3 words that best describe Clinton Jones:  Icon, Mentor, and Raconteur.

Guest speaker LSRHA Director Paul Swanson told the audience that Clinton Jones served on several railroads, traveled to many cities and towns, while taking many pictures of trains, people, and stations that would pass into history.

This presentation was a celebration of his life and his many successful accomplishments.  Clinton Jones lived his life his way, doing what he loved to do.

Hot Stove Night Presentation: Part 2 of 3

This is my mini pasty and my drink.  My savory pasty was so tasty that I’d buy these at least once each month.

This Hot Stove Night Presentation is about Clinton Jones Jr. who lived from 1944 to 2024.

This is Clinton Jones Jr. as a young man, inside the cab of a steam locomotive.  Clinton Jones was a man who loved steam locomotives.

Hot Stove Night Presentation: Part 1 of 3

On March 19, 2026 - I attended a Hot Stove Night Presentation.

This food table was filled with delicious food.  There were mini pasties, with both ketchup and gravy for toppings.  I heard some attendees say that these are the best mini pasties that they had ever eaten.

I found that the event bar that had complimentary drinks.

My HRA newsletter meeting is posted until Monday.

Now, I have more time to think of newsletter ideas.

I found an electrical junction box on the sidewalk.

This box was at the north corner of East First Street and North Second Avenue East.  Where was this box attached to and how did it get on this sidewalk?  Who will pick this up and what will happen to it?

My free meal at the First Presbyterian Church

After eating my free meal, I played Bingo, but didn’t win anything.

Another loaf of bread made with Tres Agaves Classic Lime Margarita

This bread is also made with 2 packages of instant lemon pudding and 1 box of lemon cake mix.  However, June my baker asked me that in the future, for me to purchase 2 boxes of cake mix instead of 1 box of cake mix.

Imagine something funny

I found this message (illegal graffiti) in the elevator parking ramp that serves the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC) parking lot.  Yet, that is a good message for anyone in these chaotic times.

I found abandoned sweat pants outside the downtown Duluth US Bank Branch.

Why did someone abandon their sweat pants on the south side of east Superior Street?  Why did someone turn their new clothing into litter?

I found this sign in the Plaza Shopping Center on East Superior Street.

In North America, how many of these signs are being made by desperate people and then abandoned as litter.

I bought 1 bottle of Mr. & Mrs. T ® Bloody Mary Mix 33.8 fl oz.

Next Monday, I will be eating Bloody Mary Mix bread.

Please don’t chuck and plunk your things in the hallway.

I found these things in the ground floor hallway.

After that, I found more things in the ground floor hallway.

My free meal at the First Presbyterian Church

I am grateful for my very satisfying food.

This is the HRA bulletin board north of the Second Street pedestrian bridge.

I plan to attend this “book exchange” on March 19, 2026.
