All eligible voters who are US citizens need to do this in November 2020

If you want to save representative democracy and the rule of law, while limiting greenhouse gasses to create less than two degrees of global warming, you must do this in November 2020.

I made my third mock-up newspaper page for one of my UMD Duluth journalism classes.

I made this page to describe my love for walking and biking Minnesota public trails.  I have ridden my bike the entire length of the Willard Munger State Trail; while I hope to bike more of these state trails in the upcoming years.

I made another mock-up newspaper page for one of my UMD Duluth journalism classes.

This newspaper page would be even better in 2020, because I have improved my journalism skills.  In addition, I found that if you write on topics that you love, then the act of writing becomes much easier and gives you great joy.

You can tell that I really love Anime!  In fact, I have been a fan of Japanese animation since I was a child.  I hope that I can attend the next Anime Detour that will be held from April 2nd to April 4th 2021 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.

Two cultural artifacts of the Coronavirus Pandemic

These two posters on green paper, put on the King Manor Fifth Floor bulletin board, were posted here in March.  Yet, no one has taken these posters down, while nearly all Rainbow Community Center events have been postponed for the foreseeable future.  I think this is the first time I’ve ever written the word “foreseeable”.

At King Manor, the west elevator has been out of service for at least six weeks.

Frank told me that HRA management is considering installing new elevators.  I hope that HRA managers do something soon, because if the east elevator breaks down, many mobility impaired residents will be unable to leave floors three, four, and five.

I found the public art installation "Unweaving" in the Sister Cities Park in Duluth.

 

Created by Minnesota artist Tia Keobounpheng, these artworks tells the stories of the unweaving of communities, cultures, and traditions.  At the same time the artworks describes how each twenty-first century individual has become disconnected from our inherited history.  The artworks will be on exhibit in the park until the end of October.
