Quote of the Day

There is a part of every human soul that is rotten. It appears when we lash out in anger; when we attack in the guise of self-defense; or when we pile lie upon lie to keep the past hidden. And that part of ourselves grows or diminishes in measure to how we indulge those impulses. - Joe Lindsey

Freestyle Frozen Yogurt, Hudson, WI

Did you know there was something new in frozen yogurt? I didn't, but was happy to be introduced to this place. Everything is self-serve and sold by weight. You can choose from about a dozen flavors and ~50 toppings. If you don't like what you eat, it's your own fault.

The location is also unique (surfboard tables) and family friendly (dance floor in the back)...they even give out free bracelets for kids and adult kids. Lastly, you can choose to "freestyle" your price and potentially get all of it for free. You don't see that very often.

This place is a win and a must-stop if you're in Hudson or St. Paul.

Nothing happens unless first we dream

Salsa Chili Con Crosso

A gorgeous frame and a sprinkling of new blue parts makes a great looking frame swap project for the middle of winter...can't wait to ride it either.

Seasons Greetings From My Building

I thought I would let my fellow residents' door decorations brighten your holiday season. These were the best...lots of wreaths didn't make the cut. My favorite was the blue one.

My gut tells me I can do this for every holiday too.

If you have kids and like interesting stuff, this will easily eat up an afternoon.

World's Biggest Boot...

...resides in Red Wing, MN. This is inside RedWing Boot Co.'s Factory Store and Outlet in beautiful downtown Red Wing, a stone's throw from the mighty Mississippi too. If you ever drive to the Twin Cities, take the "long route" from LaCrosse/I-90 up the west bank (MN-side) of the river.

Mid-November Commute

A sunny morning like this in mid-November is not to be taken lightly. The ride in was very nice and I was happy to see a large buck in the park had the same thought as me. I think he could have throttled me if he wanted to.

newest (re)addition to the family

Though I had the Hyland from Civia once before, I missed it too much: internal gear SRAM iMotion3 hub, disc brakes, tucked-away full housing runs, matte paint, great rear rack, painted-to-match full coverage fenders, all alloy frame.
