Boubville video. If you listen closely maybe you can hear some awesome teenage rockers in the background.

I also did a few of these. Gonna see if I can find a cool font for "What Would Chewbacca Do." Easily one of the best gifts ever in 16 years of marriage.

I drove by there about a week ago but couldn't stop. Didn't realize it was open yet. Maybe we'll make time for a visit today.

Attack on public employees in all sectors just for being public employees is disgraceful. None of us are perfect but most of us work really hard with the best interests of the overall mission in mind every single day. These traitors don't want reform, they just want to burn it down.

Canon rebel DSLR with the external shotgun mic. As if we'll need it when the bands and drumming begins.

Thank you for that detailed answer Joe! Our school is legendary for being in a very special location between the bay/River and those foothills. But it also gave us a cool little weather event to enjoy.

Oops. That reply was meant for @wxjoe.bsky.social but I'd welcome a response and insights from any weather genius. Time stamp might be in the metadata but if that's not there it was around 10ish am CST in Duluth, MN this morning. 55808 good enough for lat and longitude?

This morning when I looked north(ish) I saw this great rainbow over my place of employment, Denfeld High School. Then I looked south and saw whatever *this* is. Sun still peaking out but I figured this was some kind of weather phenomenon a smart person like you could maybe explain?

Whatever the edition is that would come out a day or so before Thanksgiving would be double or triple the thickness of a typical edition, right? Us Gen Xers would voraciously pore over the ads. Sometimes we'd literally clip out ads and post them in our lockers or bedrooms.

I finally let my DNT subscription go a couple of months ago when I switched to the Star Tribune and Duluth Monitor. But I can probably afford to add the DNT back before too long.

I appreciate you. One thing is that local newsrooms have become husks of what they once were. Obviously you know this better than I do. I'm open to any suggestions to fix it.

Solidarity forever.

The celebration included some powerful drumming and singing with three Denfeld students sitting in with members of the Vermillion singers. At the end we were able to gift outgoing Indian Ed director a Denfeld blanket. Just a beautiful experience.

Pleased to meet you, at least digitally. I'm a card-carrying, dues paying, grateful, dyed-in-the-wool member of AFSCME Council 5. I guess I'm 4th generation union while raising Gen 5 in my spare time. Thanks for your service.

Or is this all a little too 2009 for everyone? I admit to being both a nerd and an over-the-hill nerd at that. I just enjoy the instant community these things could magnify.
