Beyond Reason: Or current resident…
As Steve Martin famously said, “Some people have a way with words. Others… no have way.” I fancy myself in the first camp. I’m kind of a word guy. I love the way words look. I love the way words sound. I love the way words land. I love when you put words together and the combination is like a perfect martini. It elevates, invigorates, and you shouldn’t need that many to get where you’re going.

And another beautiful week is ahead. If only we can keep that dreadful wind machine turned off. I attended a double header baseball game on Friday evening, and the wind made it miserable. I thought I had enough layers on to keep me warm. Wrong again. 3 layers including a winter jacket plus a blanket was not enough. So. Reconfigure the blanket. Fold it differently. Drape it another way. Warm up one part of the body and chill out another. And no hot coffee at the concession stand.
Live Well, Age Wisely: Using SNAP Makes Good Sense…

There were thousands of dollars going unused each month and I thought a lot about what it would mean not just for individuals to have a little more wiggle room in their monthly food budgets but also to our local grocery stores to have those dollars being spent.

This Happened Here: A Sudden Crunch…
Much like the weather on the day I’m writing this – gorgeous sun, new buds, and a chance of a tornado -- spring often brings out the unsettled side of Minnesotans. After a long winter, people spot fresh daffodils and get crazed.
Ask a Trooper: Flashing Yellow Arrow…
Question: In one day, Monday I had three incidents where cars did not yield right of way when they had a flashing left turn arrow. I have observed several other incidents involving other drives as well. It seems of late people seem to think the flashing arrow gives them the right of way.
