    Hey Saint Paul Ward 4 residents, I just biked by at least 4 polling stations in the Ward and things are looking a little slow. If you haven’t yet voted, please, make a plan to get to your polling place today!!

    Absolutely. And make sure that at least one other person knows the whereabouts of that paperwork and how to access it. Preferably a close family member or executor if you have one.

    If you do a will & living trust so that your spouse&kids will not have to deal with probate, be aware that you need to retain the original signed papers in a place they can find it.

    And that law firms who say they will keep that paper safe for you can just disappear, especially after 40 years.

    Tried to watch a Colbert Late Show rerun last night from back in the winter and had I not lived through it, the entirety of his monologue was completely preposterous, impossible, fire the writers stuff. Then the Jardiance and Lumé ads? What world have I been transported to? Have I lost my mind?! 😳

    Saint Paul Ward 4 voting day!

    I'm voting for Molly Coleman with the hope that she can bring some pragmatism along with solid progressive values to our City Council.

    We need a Council that will WORK on city issues in order for our beautiful Capital city to reach its potential. And Molly is a start!

    Musician Mark Knopfler carrying a bike, and explaining, in a Salon interview, what it means to be captivated by a beautiful bicycle

    Happy #BicycleBirthday, Mark! Born August 12, 1949

    Photo of a man holding a bicycle on his shoulder.I had an interview this morning at the BBC, and I was a bit early. I walked around the block and there’s a bicycle shop there. And I just started looking at these bicycles, and then I thought, What am I doing? I already have a bicycle. But I like bicycles. That’s what I’m doing. They’re beautiful bicycles. It’s obviously a cracking shop. And I’m just standing there, edging around this window, just the way I would in a guitar shop or a motorcycle shop. And it’s because I like them. I’ve always liked bicycles, and I’ll probably go on liking bicycles. I actually bought an old Colnago recently, an Italian racing bike — not because I can ride it, but just because it’s an object of such beauty. I’m afraid I can’t do justice to an old road-racing bike, and it’ll probably end up going to someone who can ride it properly. But it has this lovely steel frame, just a beautiful thing.
