Attention!

The staff at the North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center reminds people to stop feeding the local animals.

I document the continuing saga of the parking lot pothole.

Now filled with rocks, a questionable repair job, this pothole is in the former Johnson auto parts & supply store parking lot.

I saw a tricycle motorcycle, my first for the year 2026.

I saw it traveling southeast on East Central Entrance, next to Rice Lake Road and Mesaba Avenue.

Smoky air

“Northern News Now Meteorologist Allison Jacoby just informed us that the current Air Quality Index for Duluth has now crossed the 1,000 mark. This unprecedented level of air quality is dangerous to everyone. You are advised to stay indoors and run an air purifier if you can.”

 

For the past 2 days, toxic smoke keeps me indoors.  I am often wearing only my underwear and socks to keep cool, inside my apartment without AC.

I attended the Data Center Education at the DECC

What’s so bad about this proposed data center?

The Data Center Education with Charlie Berens event takes place today at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC).

The discussion focuses on AI data center awareness, human dignity, and environmental impacts.

I think that this was a thoughtful series of presentations on why we must be careful with building date centers.

Gatherings by Sheraton: Mac-Tini Bar

Celebrate National Mac & Cheese Day by building an ideal mac-tini.

Classic Mac & Cheese, a variety of toppings, served in a martini glass.

I ate this good tasting Mac-Tini at the Sheraton Duluth Hotel 301 East Superior Street.

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

These are notices that I found on the King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board.

I see that the King Manor residents' club meeting has been postponed yet again.
