For the first time in 45 years, the U has developed a table grape variety
The U hopes one of its new apples or grapes is the next big hit.

Totally agree. I listened to an interview with an NBA player who said their trainers approve/ encourage Chipotle for meals. I don’t burn as many calories as they do but, but if it works for them…

I was listening to MPR on election day and they were interviewing voters. A Frey voter mentioned how the city needed a change to address crime and safety in their neighborhood, so it was important to vote for Frey......

It is pretty catchy though. My 4 and 7 year old have listened to the album at least 30 times.

I literally cannot imagine the lifelong trauma all the survivors have to live with. I have already had a couple conversations with my 7 year old who is starting school on Tuesday. He is sad and scared. Me too.

But now, you see all the various private school signs pop-up. This seems so uncouth to me! A not-so-subtle humblebrag. The worst is a house on the same street as our public school who has a lawn sign for a neighboring ("better") public school!

I currently work in user support for a pretty niche IT data product and it is truly eye-opening to see the types of support even very smart and educated people require. It is also astounding to see the entitlement of the same very smart and educated people

We live west of Xerxes, so not even remotely close to Bryant Ave, so either they were hapless, or that it was enough of a wedge issue that people would get riled about one bike lane miles away.

I spent some time thinking about this in 2023 elections. Kate Mortenson and her aides came to our NNO block party, and her aide shook my hand & the first "policy" topic he wanted me to know was how Kate was opposed to the Bryant Ave bike lane. Made me think they had some prior success on that angle

I used to live on 17th Ave S in Powderhorn. Our block maintained a circle and it was effort to coordinate and fundraise for the circle garden. They were trying to revive it so it was likely more effort than typical. If the couple who coordinated it moved, it is easy to imagine it going to weed.
