In honor of our Spring temperatures today, I've made potato salad.

Fargo police finally admit they screwed up, but that's not going to stop the lawsuit. I doubt it will save Chief Zibolksi from getting fired, either. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Pitch idea: "It's a WW2 drama about a meteorologist, boss. It can't miss!!!" 😉

It's rare to see pre-election polling for a state Supreme Court race, but Wisconsin is different. If Taylor wins, the court will have a liberal majority for years. www.wpr.org/news/poll-ch...

I won't give away any spoilers from tonight's NCIS, but recent episodes have shown a DC is crisis, with long-established departments and programs being eliminated, seemingly on a whim. Art is imitating life. 🤔

In the days when you could trust your car to the man who wore the star

While he seems to forget the names of world leaders and members of his own party fairly often, That Guy never forgets a grudge.

I never thought we would see the day when an Iranian spokesperson would have more credibility than the U.S. president, but here we are. 🫤

Boom!

When I was a kid watching teevee, this was how they did it.

Hey, this looks like an interesting read...

I have climate concerns, but no grief, per se. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

When Dems start winning in farm country, I'll start believing stories like this.

More proof, if needed, that when The Good People discover their hero was an abuser and a rapist, they take swift action to correct old wrongs. We can celebrate the work done and still condemn the man who helped make it happen.

This very important case might not be on your radar. But the federal government has charged 38 people in Minnesota, including two journalists, with felony conspiracy to violate religious freedoms for a protest at a church where an ICE official was pastor. The latest: share.google/m10gJqVCPqFI...

As an American, I am proud that all of these drugs where brought into our country in an American-made vehicle to be sold to an all-American customer base for illegal drugs. When not seized, these vehicles return to Mexico filled with our cash and guns for the drugs!

Why are universities and high schools STILL hiring men to be coaches of girls/women's hockey teams? Wrong answers only.

There are two examples of Minnesota women who had extraordinary careers as Winter Olympic athletes taking very different paths. Jessie Diggins ended hers with grace and humility, Lindsey Vonn still talking about a comeback.

There are headlines you can skim past, and then there are headlines like this...

If you want to get upset about the Columbus statute that popped up at the White House grounds, fine, but remember that all of the occupants of that building are short-term residents, and what goes up overnight can disappear the same way. #HelloLifeGoodbyeColumbus

On last night's Call the Midwife season opener, everyone was eating pancakes drizzled with lemon juice and sprinkled with sugar. When one character who had lived in NYC for a time was asked what Americans put on their pancakes, she responded "maple syrup" and they all recoiled in horror.

"We have a winner in the Best Post of Today contest, folks. Thank you for you entries and please try again tomorrow..."

Local teevee station captured this image of ICE officers "helping" their unpaid co-workers in the TSA 🙄

There's some heartbreaking video of a woman being detained by what we can only image are ICE officers (no badges or uniforms) at the San Francisco airport. A young girl is crying nearby. 😢 You will likely see it soon, if you haven't already.

Normally, being #1 is cool, but not this time Report: Minnesota’s home insurance rates rose 34% in 2025, the highest increase in the nation minnesotareformer.com/briefs/minne...

To be clear, the Feds shouldn't have arrested ANYONE involved in the church protest. But one suspect had a particularly strong defense: she wasn't there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I like dog-themed joints in Stillwater

213 delegates at the Teamster's Hall today. The last time we had 30, so yes, Blaine Dems are fired up and showing up.

We left before final votes, but no surprises at the SD32 DFL Convention. Blaine city councilmember Chris Ford was endorsed for the state Senate seat, as was challenger Amanda Matchett (32A) and incumbent Matt Norris (32B). Neither Mrs. Lungs nor I ran for anything. Visitors: Flanagan, Craig, Ellison

The Warns family, interviewed in the story below, know what to order at Conny's: their chili dogs can't be beat.

If you are going to a DFL convention today, thank you.

The world is noticing how foreign nationals are being treated by this country. Is it any wonder that FIFA is cutting back on the hotel reservations for soccer fans from abroad?

I spotted @atrupar.com on the US Farm Report this morning. Well, not in the flesh, but they aired a screengrab of a clip he posted. It was about the rising cost of fertilizer. The price has gone up due to That Guy's War. The head of North Dakota Farmers Union wasn't happy about it.

70s and sitting on the patio yesterday, snow flurries today.

So the fictional Mary Richards counts? If so, where is Rose Nylund, Angus MacGyver, and Paul Bunyon & Babe? MacGyver should get extra points, as both the fictional character and Richard Dean Anderson are Minnesotans.

If you expect Mrs. L or I to live-post the political convention news as it happens from one of the regions in the state that will likely determine control of the state legislature, I'm sorry. Not doing that. You may have to wait until November, but I guarantee this community will have its say.

Yesterday we saw the first tiny spouts of crocuses at the Manor. Today they bloomed.

Anyone who saw the original "Carrie" knows every homecoming coronation is about sex, humiliation, and unspeakable violence.

Tried to walk around the water with Mrs. L today, but I'm not entirely healed after my surgery. I have my good days and bad days, and I never know which it will be until I try. That said, I'm fine for sitting on the patio, and we did just that.

One of the things I learned watching the PBS Newshour on Friday is that some airports in the U.S. use contract employees as TSA agents. Their money comes from another source than the federal employees, so they are getting paid.

Someone in my neighborhood is apparently tapping the maple in their front yard for syrup. That's a new one.

"No. I'm not putting troops anywhere" He said as he sends thousands of Marines on a weeks-long voyage across the globe right toward an active war zone. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Flying an obsolete state flag isn't the defiant gesture some of these towns think it is. It's more of a self-own.

I'm just going to say it: Football's (soccer to you) highest prize looks like a foil-wrapped chocolate Easter bunny left in a hot car.

Perhaps it's too hidden 🤔

I hate to agree with That Guy on anything, but... www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Congrats to the Gopher women, who now get another game at The Barn #NCAA

Saw the tips of some crocuses coming up at the Manor, so I guess it is officially Spring.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Coon Rapids Liquor store is selling THC products again. They had been told to remove them because of a nearby school, but they worked something out with regulators. #PotPop

Michele Tafoya is getting the sort of national attention she so richly deserves
