National Train Day, Part 1


Choo Choo Chalk



I see someone is a supporter of NLX!


Yesterday, I attended the LSRM meeting


The meeting ended with a fun presentation by Museum member Jay Gabler who review part of his new book, “100 Things to do in Duluth before you die,” related to trains.



The Railroad Museum was being setup to celebrate National Train Day.

I saw this in Downtown Duluth at 4:26 PM.


Walking on the streets of Downtown Duluth was pleasant.


Paul Hallgren Comics


I plan to hire Paul to make art of my published Dungeons and Dragons characters.



I feel good about spending my money to hire the talents of local artists.


Who are K and R?


Why is their American graffiti on the west side of the Temple Opera Building of Duluth?  I wrote “American graffiti” to get more page views.

Princess Twilight Sparkle refurbished


After a few years of standing a shelf, I returned her to Build-A-Bear Workshop ®, where I bought her a new SCENTiments ® Stuffed Animal Scent and a new Heartbeat Effect sound chip insert!

 

At Burggraf's Ace Hardware ®, in Duluth I bought 3 batteries to power her sound box in her right front hoof.

 

Now, I ask Build-A-Bear Workshop ® to create a stuffed doll of Alexei Andreovitch Shostakov, the Soviet Union's first official super soldier known as Red Guardian.  He is also a founding member of the New Avengers.  The doll would be wear his uniform based in his appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).


I got a bottle of Spritz Del Conte


I wonder how Monday’s bread made of Spritz Del Conte will taste.
