I built my own bus stop monitor using a Raspberry Pi 5 mini computer connected to a 7-inch touchscreen display.

Now, when I’m putting on my shoes, I know exactly how many minutes I have before the next bus arrives.

My giant “WHY?” sign was a big hit at our rally at the governor’s mansion today! Also, it’s a fair question. Why did Walz act unilaterally to sow chaos into government workers’ lives without even consulting agency heads and labor leaders? Who benefits? #mape #union #mn #walz #telework #work #stpaul

We’re skipping Target today for our weekly grocery run and going with ALDI and Trader Joe’s instead. Where can I find a quarter? It’s been ages since I’ve touched bills or coins.
