In my backyard today this pileated woodpecker is really going to town on a dead tree.

Driver turned the wrong way and crashed through the doors @LundsandByerlys in Roseville. Luckily no one was hurt.
Eating at Black Sea Restaurant in WBL. Didn’t know there was a second location. Glad it’s here. Food is great and reasonably priced.
Last week @LAFitness a gym goer washed her shoes in the sink. Today it was a whole load of laundry, which was then hung in the steam room.
Just heard @AldiUSA will be opening at Lexington & Larpenteur in St. Paul—the same strip mall as House of Wong. Perfect fit for the neighborhood.

Having to clear out my kitchen cupboards for remodeling. If anyone saw all the booze, they might think I have a drinking problem.

Yes. I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely go back for another bowl of the pork ramen. teapaw.org/justplainbob/status/10…

They have one there now? I like the Saint Paul location. Yes, it's very good.
Lunch today at the new Ichiddo Ramen at HarMar Mall. Loved the ramen and good service, too.

In today’s paper @RossRaihala , Joe Jackson looks like Julian Assange, only with a little less hair.

Happy National Donut Day. Great excuse to pick up a dozen.

So happy to spot this sign at Har Mar Mall today. Ichiddo Ramen & BBQ seems like a great fit. The chain is also expanding to Dinkytown and Maple Grove.

A duck is laying eggs under the shrubs right next to my front door. So far there are 5. If they hatch, I’ll have to but a little kiddie pool.

Happy to hear Mavericks will reopen soon. Same location. New owner. Hope they serve the same quality roast beef sandwiches.

I hear @NorthGateBrew is permanently closed due to “unforeseen circumstances.” Didn’t see that coming. Ha!

Just found out @INONNI and its sister BuonGiorno have been sold. So far new owner @SunfishCellars hasn’t changed much except adding more wine. Let’s hope it stays that way.
