I attended the Community Action Block Party, in Lincoln Park, Lincoln Park Drive of Duluth, Minnesota.


This is their free food line.



This is the tasty and free meal that I ate.

I love the story: (Dungeons & Doodles: Tales from the Tables)


Dungeons & Doodles: Tales from the Tables is a great story.  Someday, I hope to use this story to inspire my future Dungeons and Dragons players, if I can ever get my next campaign started.  You see the game from both the player characters’ point of view and the players’ point of view.  I hope this story will become a TV series that is animated during the D&D game / player characters’ time, while live-action during the real world / players’ time.

Role-Playing Game Consent Checklist


This is how I fill out the RPG Consent Checklist, as an example to my players.  What plot and story elements make you excited and happy, or make you angry and sad.

A Santa Fe car in northern Minnesota


Built in 1950 by Pullman Standard, this car ran on the Santa Fe, Atchison & Topeka Railway as car number 1346 as a snack bar and club lounge car.  I’m sure it was popular with the traveling public.  Later, it served as a training car, running as car number 76.  I hope it will soon be running on the North Shore Scenic Railroad.

Today is a good day to eat a bag of yummy taffy, on National Taffy Day.


Broken Bricks on First Street, part 2


This shabby asphalt patch will only last two or three years, before it slowly disappears under the weight of thousands of car and truck wheels.

Broken Bricks on First Street


I found these disgraceful, broken bricks on the corner of East First Street and North Second Avenue East.  These broken bricks make me feel that my hometown is neglecting both appearance and pedestrian safety in the crosswalk.


Rock graffiti


I found this rock graffiti next to the Fourth Avenue Auto Park and beside Depot Road Duluth, Minnesota.


I love this simple art style!


Plunger graffiti


This plunger graffiti is on the corner of East First Street and North Third Avenue East.  I wonder if these old car telephone stands can be used for another purpose.

Yesterday evening, I ate my meet and greet dinner at the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth.


This is the main course of my dinner.  This is the best tasting beef chili that I have ever eaten.  Three other people at my table said that this is the best tasting beef chili that they have ever eaten.



This is my strawberry shortcake dessert.

This is the first time I’ve seen Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth, MN staff using public humiliation or public shaming to deter bad behavior, in this case trespassing in King Manor.

Who is Discord at Dawn and will someone write-up this character for the Champions role-playing game published by Hero Games.
