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.

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.

Star Trek grace


Say this to your food before eating:

 

“We are human beings.  Your existence as you know it is over. We will add your vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber to support our bodies.  Resistance is futile.”


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.
