@katharinegk.bsky.social There has not been anything interesting to report for a long time at Miller Showers Park in Bloomington, Indiana, but today's activity was, I thought, worth updating you about.

Local country music star Hank Ruff sits in the back corner of the Office Lounge, a place which is probably a decent fit for lyrics of a recent release from Ruff: “One Thing I Can Count On.” Yeah, of course, I do know that's John Mellencamp to the right.

@caytonholland.bsky.social Years ago you started a set at The Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana with a riff on a local treasure called Darn Good Soup. It was an early casualty of the COVID pandemic. But tomorrow, it is re-opening at a new location 2 blocks south. I thought you would like to know.

A pair of red-tailed hawks are perched on the steeple of First Presbyterian at Lincoln and 6th streets. They fly off to the west one block and take up a post on the Monroe County courthouse dome.

A peek into my spam folder reveals a lot of people who allege that they are dissatisfied with the available selections of breakfast food at my bed and breakfast. I have revised my life goals to include actually disappointing people with a subpar breakfast menu. Step 1: Buy a bed and breakfast.

Took my bicycle for a spin down SR 446 to the causeway and back into town. Seemed like a shame to waste a day like today in early February. ( 70 F degrees and sunny. )
