To Sleep, Perchance to Dream Not happening, sigh.

Go ahead. Make my day.

Micro Monday? Why, @jack, of course. ‘nuff said.

Oh. That decision about not getting the iPhone Xs Max? Reconsidered. Delivery next week? We’ll see. The watch is still on hold and will be for some time.

Back at the gym for the first time in two weeks. We had a vacation interrupt. Now I have to get back to pre-vacation shape and then some. It never ends.

Ann and I just had a minor disagreement about who it was that screwed up and bought the wrong trash bags. “I did.” “No, I’m sure it was me.” Maybe this is why we’ve been married for over 40 years.

Hit Medicare age. Transitioning all the extra insurance bits takes time and patience. I might have actually finished that today.

Decided against a new iPhone and Apple Watch for now. When it happens it will be phone first, watch later. Happy with the series 3. Reasonably happy still with the 7 plus. Besides, I have to buy a new roof for my house.

So, if I say something about this iPhone X s, I get a pin of some sort. :) It’s about time to upgrade. So, maybe. We’ll see.

Bee on echinacea. Glensheen.

Ann and I had lunch today in the magnificent dining room at Naniboujou Lodge on Minnesota’s North Shore. The designs and colors were used by the Cree Indians. You can find some history here.

Most folks following me are probably also following @cheri, but she’s my Micro Monday pick for those who aren’t @cheri-aware yet.

Plein Air Grand Marais for more info.

Plein air in Grand Marais. This guy was doing a street painting of the front of the Ben Franklin store. One of two left in the state.

At the end of the Gunflint Trail. Gull Lake. Canada is just a wee bit from here.

At Gooseberry Falls on Minnesota’s North Shore.

Hope to make it up to the Gunflint Lodge today.

Interesting coffee cup At Sarah’s Table Chester Creek Cafe. “Democracy must be something more …”

“Death Before DECAF” at the New London Cafe, Duluth MN.

Lake Superior at Glensheen.

Canal Park Lake Walk. Ann with “the determined mariner” and a lighthouse for sale.

It was a beautiful day in Duluth. A welcome change from the rain yesterday in Rochester. Here is a picture of the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge open for sailboats.

So. That rain yesterday? 7". Sheesh. Today we dry out.

Just made a quick stop at the Higher Grounds Café in North Branch for a “Minty Moose” on the way to Duluth.

Rain. Lots. Of. Rain.
