What I unexpectedly found in Duluth, Minnesota on April 17, 2020


On Superior Street and next to Burggraf's Ace Hardware, I found the transit stop had been thoughtlessly vandalized by ugly graffiti.

On Superior Street, I found a dump truck with a flat, front tire.  The dump truck had been driving westbound and had stopped next to the Duluth Technology Village.

I found an abandoned ice cream treat and spoon on the east side of the Harbor Drive viaduct.  Why would anyone leave an intact ice cream treat on the top of an Interstate 35 viaduct?

I wrote this report as a student in Woodland Middle School, Duluth, Minnesota


I started my advocacy for passenger trains before I started growing facial hair.  I also wrote this report on a manual typewriter, something that I have not done for decades.


This is also my 100 post to my blog for 2022!


Bentleyville hot cocoa


Yesterday, I walked up to the Bentleyville Cookie House.  The nice lady asked me if I wanted hot chocolate.  To which I replied, “That would be cool.”  I then quickly added, “Sorry for the bad pun.”  She replied with, “No need to apologize as I know what you meant.”

My return to Bentleyville USA 2022, Part 5


The big Bentleyville Christmas Tree is always an impressive sight.



There is a unicorn pony at Bentleyville?  Is that a crafty reference to the My Little Pony franchise?


My return to Bentleyville USA 2022, Part 4


I’m not sure what cute dinosaurs have to do with Christmas.  Yet, these dinosaurs do look cool.



Many people agree that there is “Snow much fun at Bentleyville.”
