The tiniest sliver of a moon over Nashville, like a pale little dish or the slenderest boat

Crossing the wiiiiiide Ohio River to Paducah, Kentucky

We stopped to see our pal Superman in Metropolis, Illinois

The spring leaves are popping near St. Louis.

Noticed a makeshift memorial for “Bro” on the highway shoulder, surrounded by offerings.

Passing Hannibal, Missouri, on a long road trip to Alabama with my brother for our Aunt Mary’s funeral. She was last of the siblings in our dad’s generation. I’m waving to Mark Twain from my profile picture as we pass by.

“Remember, God wants you to contribute to the stadium fund.” - a thing my brother heard some freak actually say once. We just drove by the school where that happened. sparking his memory.

My awesome niece & nephew are 16 years old today so I bought them both a car. I am definitely their funniest uncle (I have real gifts for them too, of course).

St. Paul, Minnesota, tonight.

Yay! Someday I’ll get my thunder back

every time someone uses ai generated slop the image of Donald Sutherland from the end of invasion of the body snatchers should automatically appear. no text necessary. maybe eventually it would have an impact.

Having a slice of cherry pie, just like St. Patrick intended.

Latest on the Cleveland meteor says it was a 6-foot wide, 7-ton asteroid moving 40k mph that released the equivalent energy of 250 tons of TNT when it fragmented. Fragments may have fallen about 10-15 miles from me. ☄️

Nice try with the “meteor,” we all know it was really Superman

This is an extraordinary St Patrick’s Day message from NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani He’s clearly been briefed by someone familiar with the Irish history of anti-colonialism and the Irish people’s overwhelming sympathy for Palestinians today

This #StPatricksDay explore Ireland's prehistoric heritage in Antiquity ☘️ This is Brusselstown Ring, Co. Wicklow. Potentially hundreds of occupied roundhouses found here last year indicate it was the largest nucleated settlement in the country! 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

Some green for today from Nicolas de Staël, although, alas, not from Ireland as far as I know: “Seascape with Barge and Breakwater” (1954), seen at Mia in Minneapolis recently.

Photo from 1858, “The Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx, Egypt,” by Francis Frith on one of his three expeditions in the Middle East. Seen at Mia last month.

The moai of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) are iconic, but are in fact the culmination of centuries of changing ritual traditions. Explore the different phases of development of monumental expression in East Polynesia in Antiquity 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

Huh, turns out it snowed over the weekend.

My panda family for #WorldPandaDay. The good news is that their status has improved from endangered to vulnerable but they do remain at risk. There are an estimated 1,800 in the wild. #panda #giantPanda #linocut #printmaking #BlackAndWhite #conservation 🐡🧪

Isn’t this the thesis of “Nature’s Metropolis”?

Peeking between the tombstones at Graceland Cemetery

Just read it! We've received MCV for something like 40 years now. Its always packed with informative and entertaining pieces on Minnesota's natural world.

My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there

Et tu, Fruté?

I’ve no idea how things will measure up to the snowpocalypse predictions but it was snowing sideways when I went to bed and it’s still snowing sideways now.

“Go home from yonder bus stop Because there's a blessing on the ground” - My wife’s work was cancelled today so we are playing “Snow Days” and drinking coffee.

FINALLY! #LetItSnow #LetItSnow #LetItSnow Be careful out there, my friends. In fact, just stay home and make some snow creatures. Feel free to make me a snowdog.

Maggie meeting a giant penguin

new favorite sticker - Minnesota guillotine

I took a picture of my new shirt to text my daughter and in the process have learned where cats come from.

Say, did anyone hear that it might snow?

Breaking: #Caturday zoomies have commenced at our house

Sleepy deepy

Beware the Ides of March.

On the bulletin board at one of our favorite Twin Cities restaurants #FuckIce

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Friday the 13ths

the thing about having a dream that you have a small bear in the house as a pet is that eventually you have to wake up and leave the fun

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!

My garbage and recycling bins are wild like the wind

My wife got me a great pocket t-shirt at Raygun

tušāma ina urri iššira damiqtī arḫu innammaru inammira šamšī "Perhaps, at daybreak, good things will come to me A new moon will appear, my sun will shine." A couplet from Babylonian poem, Ludlul bēl nēmeqi, whose protagonist hopes for better days. A lengthy, beautiful, bizarre work of literature.

For Rachel Carson Stans - there's a really nice PBS biography of her. www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.

We gave Maggie some catnip. He is wasted.

We have been married for nearly 24 years but my wife just now revealed that the family car when she was a very little girl was a green Duster. Now, I am absolutely not a car guy - totally the opposite - but nevertheless, !!!! !! !!!

March is sitting here in the middle, like a lion.
