I used to live in Decorah, IA, and visited Rochester for shopping at the Apache mall as a kid. You are not going to see a ton of cultural stuff there but I hear the art museum is decent if small. The rec center is also popular.

The spam museum is usually pretty popular as well.

If driving is something you can do, the twin cities are approx 90 mins north. If you are able, and you don’t mind the weather there are some good hiking trails in the area too.

Good luck!

My oldest daughter. We have a new infant, and she has been so patient and helpful instead of jealous. She loves her new little sister and is so eager to show her things. I know this may not last, but I’m very proud of her right now.

This is the one I came to say.

You can find it on Amazon sometimes. It’s available on and off. I recommend to just keep checking.

I love the color of all of this. It makes me feel like I should spend some time making my very utilitarian build out more aesthetically pleasing.

Haha. I do have a backpack in the trunk of our vehicle with emergency snacks.

Very close. It’s a Leatherman Style PS. Blade-less. Still has scissors and a bunch of other useful tools. I have to take it out to be inspected every time, but always gets through airport security.

That’s a great idea. She likely would appreciate that!

You would be correct.

I love my Style PS

This is fantastic news.

One of us, one of us!

I would suggest Logseq. It’s excellent and a step up from One Note IMHO.

Yes. I can get behind this.

Yes! I get many looks. Here’s a late-thirties man with a bald head, gleefully grinning like a maniac while careening wildly down the parking lot aisle on a squeaky four-wheeled vehicle meant for vittles.

Jingle bells, Batman smells…

Me too!
