Did I find a can of Pepsi that cost Sam Toan 89.99?

Just who is Sam Toan and why would they pay 89.99 for a can of Wild Cherry Pepsi?

The furry community at the University of Minnesota, Duluth

I wonder how Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates would have described the members of the Anthropomorphic Student Union pursuing happiness via furriness.

My banana bread

My baker told me that she likes using “Concord Foods Quick Add & Bake Chiquita Banana Bread Mix” to make our banana bread”.  She used 2 packages of mix to make 1 loaf of bread.

I ate food at the Socialist Meal Program.

This event was held at the Clayton-Jackson-McGhie Memorial.  This place is at the corner of East First Street and North Second Avenue East.

I ate my tasty food provided by the Socialist Meal Program.

What I found in Kirby Student Center – We Are Family!

This is a professionally created display promoting friendship, inclusion, and tolerance of those different from you.

I know for a fact that only sick, sad, and stupid people are bigots.

What I found on East First Street Duluth, Minnesota.

While going to the Bulldog Rocketry student club event at UMD, I found yet one more forsaken “I’m homeless, please help” sign.

I found a flower bed with a nice border edge fence.

I attended the Bulldog Rocketry student club event at UMD.

This event happened on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 1:00 to 5:00 PM at the Kirby Rafters.

Needless to say, this would not be a James Patrick Buchanan post without pictures of the tasty food that I ate.

Here is a second picture of the tasty food that I ate.

 

Also, I found a full and unopened can of Bubbl'r Antioxidant Sparkling Water Twisted Elix'r in the Residence Dining Center recycling bin.  Who would pay for a can of drink and then throw it away without drinking the water in the can?

I attended the Spring Resource Fair at the North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center.

This is the gateway to the Spring Resource Fair.

This is a small, yet tasty meal that I ate.

I found bear art on a street light control box.

This control box is on East Third Street and North Sixth Avenue East, across the street from the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church.

I found the UMD Duluth Bulldog Rocketry table.

Here is a poster to links to the Bulldog Rocketry student club.

Here is a poster to an upcoming, Bulldog Rocketry student club event.  This Bulldog Rocketry event will happen on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 1:00 to 5:00 PM at the Kirby Rafters.

At UMD Duluth, inside Kirby Student Center, I attended the APAA (Asian Pacific American Association) Boba Fundraiser.

I drink Strawberry bubble tea and then Chai Tea bubble tea (pictured above).

This is the wall art I found at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.

I found this art in a hallway in the School of Medicine building.

This appears to be a message to restore the health of the natural biology of the natural world, as well as uplift human civilization.

I found more bunny graffiti.

I wish youthful vandals would stop turning the surfaces that I walk by into canvases for their illegal and ugly art.

This is my bread made with V8 strawberry banana.

I bought fresh strawberries for my strawberry banana bread.

I ate a free meal at the First Presbyterian Church.

This is the meal that I ate.  I then played Bingo, but I didn’t win anything.

I ate a free meal at the First Presbyterian Church.

This is my breakfast main course of good food.

This is my second plate of good food.

 

To my disappointment, there was no Bingo game after my meal.

My digital alarm clock is at least 30 years old.

I have owned and used this digital alarm clock for at least 3 decades.  Notice the wear and tear on the surfaces that I touch when I set and reset my clock.  Does anyone know how old my digital alarm clock is?

While on my daily health walk, I found more bunny graffiti.

The more I look at Duluth graffiti, the more I realize that it is made by just a handful of prolific, graffiti vandals.

What I found in the Downtown Duluth ICO and Dairy Queen building.

In the public men’s restroom, I found that the hand dryer has become a canvas for illegal and ugly graffiti.

 

My unsolicited advice for this building’s owners:  Buy and then install a new hand dryer ASAP (as soon as possible).

I found an advertisement for the Duluth, Minnesota May 7, Pancake Day.

I saw this video display on the wall of the second floor of Duluth’s Wells Fargo Center, that’s located at 230 West Superior Street.

These are 3 things that I found at DTA bus stops.

I found a walking cane in a DTA bus stop.

I found a cup of coffee and a cup of breakfast cereal.

I found a bag full of discarded junk on this bus stop bench.

I saw a message from the “Anthropomorphic Student Union”

According to their UMD website:  "The Anthropomorphic Student Union is a Student-Led organization at the University of Minnesota: Duluth exploring and celebrating the Furry Fandom. The "Furry Fandom", relates to the distinct culture surrounding the community of individuals interested in the anthropomorphization (that's a mouthful to say) of animals. No matter your level of experience or interest in the Furry Fandom, all are welcome to join our growing community!"

The message: Stalking stops when you step up

I hope that such informational posters will encourage people to stop mentally-disturbed persons from stalking students and staff at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.

I bought a big bottle of V8 strawberry banana

I wonder what my bread, made with V8 strawberry banana, will taste like.

I saw a sign for the 66th annual Duluth Lions Club Pancake Day.

This event will be held Thursday from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at historic DECC Pioneer Hall.  It appears to me that anything in America that is 50 years old or older is considered to be historic.

This sign is on the “Duluth Energy Systems” building that’s next to North Shore Scenic Drive.

I saw the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is more entertaining than I expected this movie to be.

I attended the 58th Annual Arrowhead Home & Builders Show at the DECC.

At the front door, I found out that the DECC - Duluth Entertainment Convention Center is 60 years old this year.

This is the big map of the DECC, showing us where the exhibitors are in the DECC.

For example, this is the LouAda Granite display area.

To me, this granite slab appears as an abstract, Dungeons and Dragons map.

I found an “old, hungry, broke” sign.

I found this sign next to the bus stop, next to the Plaza Shopping Center on East Superior Street.

These are my slices of my applesauce and raisins bread.

These are my slices of blisteringly blissful bread.

I attended the Juice Pharm’s open house, celebrating their new ownership.

I ate this delicious and free food at the Juice Pharm.

Two Wednesday dinners

I ate my first Wednesday meals at the First Presbyterian Church of Duluth.

I ate my second meal at a “Hot Stove Night” at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum.

Easter Sunday Breakfast

This is the tasty Easter Sunday Breakfast that I ate, with great enthusiasm.

At UMD Duluth, I found a poster for the Minnesota Film Festival.

The Minnesota Film Festival is scheduled to happen on April 22 to 26, 2026.

Here are my ingredients to make our applesauce bread.

June decided to omit (leave out) the nuts, because many people can’t eat nuts without getting sick.
