Furries at my University

I’m sure that Saberspark, who is often associated with the furry community, approves of this University student club.  I wanted to add the name Saberspark to my published vocabulary words.

 

I wonder if University Dungeons and Dragons players will have a collaboration event with the University Furries.  I can imagine these human players enjoying a Dungeons and Dragons campaign where all the players play Tabaxi, a unique species that blends the qualities of humanoids and cats, as their player characters.  I believe that University clubs should have combined social events focused on shared interests.

Fire alarm testing

I’m documenting many small events that otherwise would be lost to human history.

My free meal at the First Presbyterian Church

This is my pasta and beef casserole, topped with cheese and pepperoni.

This is my s'mores inspired dessert.

 

After eating my meal, I then played Bingo with my friends.  But, I didn’t win anything.

King Manor Bulletin Boards

This is the fifth floor bulletin board.

This is the fourth floor bulletin board.

What I found near the U.S. Bank Branch

Sometimes, the snow removal front end loaders remove more than just snow.  On the south side of Superior Street, I found that these tree grates for sidewalks were damaged by the snow removal front end loaders.  In the spring, will the city government replace these damaged tree grates with new tree grates?

What did I find on the back of a DTA bus seat?

I don’t know the name of this character, what she is holding, or what franchise this character belongs to.  As you can see, I have been trained to use the Oxford comma, also known as the Harvard comma.

My bread made with Tres Agaves Classic Lime Margarita

This is very tasty bread.

My Web Comic was the number 1 comic on the Top Web Comics site.

I happened to be up and voted for my web comic a few seconds after all the hit counters on the site were reset to zero.  I know that in itself this is a minor achievement.

Canceled

The Mobile Market scheduled for today has been canceled by Community Action.

I found a similar cancelation message on the fourth floor bulletin board of the King Manor apartment.

I bought a bottle of Tres Agaves Classic Lime Margarita

I wonder how bread made with Tres Agaves Classic Lime Margarita will taste like.

This is my Bespoke Pistachio Bread

First, in the fourth floor community room I found this game cube with the word “food” spelled out within it.

Second, here is my very good Bespoke Pistachio Bread.  This might be the best bread that my friend Jane has ever barked for me.

Snowstorm in Duluth

This view is looking east from the HRA pedestrian bridge over East Second Street.  Someone is digging out their car from a bothersome snowdrift.

This view is looking west from the HRA pedestrian bridge over west Second Street.  More troubling, more snow is on the way to Duluth.

 

Because of this storm, HRA staff decided to close the North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center.  Also, the staff of the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth cancelled their free evening meal and bingo game.

I bought a bottle of Bespoke Pistachio Cream.

A staff member who works at Canal Park Liquors told me that he could eat an entire loaf of bread that is made with pistachio spirits and cream.  So, I’m going to ask my baker Jane to make him a special loaf of bread made with pistachio spirits and cream.

My bread made with a bottle of Master of Mixes ® Strawberry.

If you like strawberry shortcake, you would love eating a slice or three of my lip-smacking Master of Mixes ® Strawberry bread.

Yesterday, I woke up to a thick fog in Duluth.

I am looking east on the HRA pedestrian bridge.

I am looking west on the HRA pedestrian bridge.

What gift did Jane give me today?

This is a nice gift that Jane gave me.  As someone who loves unicorns, her gift put a happy smile on my face.  I wish that my family was as thoughtful as Jane.

My Valentine's Day art, version 2

For my second attempt at making Valentine's Day art at the North Pointe Resource Center, I choose a topical subject.

Today, I saw Goat (a 2026 film)

This is a much more enjoyable cinematic experience than I thought it would be.  I’m not by and large a sports movie fan.  But, I liked this one.

 

The character models are so well constructed that I sometimes forgot that these characters are digital puppets.  I would love to spend an hour or three just talking to these characters.

I bought a bottle of Master of Mixes ® Strawberry.

I wonder how tasty my bread made with Master of Mixes ® Strawberry will taste like.

What did I find posted on the King Manor, fourth floor bulletin board?

The quality of these posters has had a remarkable improvement over the years that I have been recording them.

I found a heart-shaped potato.

This is the very first heart-shaped potato that I have found.

I found this nice poster in the North Pointe Resource Center.

What did I find posted on the King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board?

These bulletin board posters keep residents up to date on upcoming events in King Manor and the North Pointe Resource Center.

I found another lost glove on Duluth sidewalks.

I found this lost glove on the sidewalk, at the eastbound bus stop, on the south side of Superior Street, across the street from Essentia Health Building B.

I found another example of ugly graffiti.

Inside the ground floor of the pedestrian bridge between the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center and the Duluth Transit Center, I found this example of ugly graffiti.

 

“In a city, relatively minor problems like graffiti, public disorder, and aggressive panhandling, they write, are all the equivalent of broken windows, invitations to more serious crimes.”

— Malcolm Gladwell

I found yet another homeless sign in Duluth.

I wonder how many of these discarded signs are littering my city’s sidewalks, parking lots, and bus shelters.

My Valentine's Day art

As a still interested brony, I based my Valentine's Day art on the My Little Pony:  Friendship is Magic episode “Hearts and Hooves Day”.

My bread made with Blake's Hard Cider Blood Orange & Cranberry.

I love eating my Blood Orange & Cranberry bread.

I found a lost glove on a Superior Street sidewalk.

How can people misplace their gloves in a Minnesota February?

I found another “homeless please help” sign.

I wonder how much time, money, and effort are spent making these signs; when homeless people could instead use that time, money, and effort finding worthwhile employment.

I bought my Blake's Hard Cider Blood Orange & Cranberry for my bread.

I wonder how this loaf of orange bread will taste like.

I found more bunny art on North Second Avenue East

This art is between East First Street and East Second Street.

I like the choice of color for the art on the black painted, street light.

My free meal at the First Presbyterian Church

After eating my scrumptious breakfast for dinner, I then played bingo; but I didn’t win anything.

First Street construction

I found this construction site on the intersection of East First Street and North First Avenue East.

I attended “The Bus is Us: A Live Transit Equity Day Storytelling Event”

This free, community event was held at the Zeitgeist Teatro.  Held on Rosa Parks’ birthday, this event is organized by Zeitgeist and the Duluth Transit Authority with Denfeld High School and Graduates of the Twin Ports Transportation Academy.

 

This is the map of suggestions for the Duluth Transit Authority for their bus routes.  Are you able to guess which suggestion that I posted here.  (1)

I found this “be kind to your bus drivers” poster art.  Be kind to bus drivers, as they have the duties and responsibilities of a navigator, engineer, security guard, and medical officer all in one person.

And, I also included an image of the food table.  My loyal readers, you didn’t miss much as there were only fries, dipping sauces, tasty cookies, and a water dispenser.

 

(1) It is the suggestion for a bus stop at the future NLX station.

This is my tasty Orange Bread

This orange bread is as tasty as the orange bread I remember eating when I was a child.

What did I find posted on the King Manor, fourth floor bulletin board?

These posters have been posted on the edge of this bulletin board.  This makes a pleasant pattern that was created by pure happenstance.

What did I find posted on the King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board?

The residents’ club is having their first meeting, in many months, on Groundhog Day.  I didn’t know that that groundhogs (Marmota monax), also known as woodchucks, would be so influential to restart the King Manor Residents’ Club.

My Web Comic was on the first page of the Top Web Comics site.

Being twenty-seventh on a web site that hosts thousands of comics is a good place to be, even if it is only for a few minutes.

Ashtray elevator

I saw that in the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC), an elevator is also an ashtray.
