When the season ended last year, Wayne left his trail cam behind, mounted near his deer stand. He let it run, until the battery ran out, some time in June. He was delighted to find a trove of game photos when he returned to his stand for the new season, like this one of a visiting turkey vulture.
Soon to be six month old Ellie and her parents made the rounds the other night, and we think they're the best candidate for the cutest polar bears ever. She's Hai's granddaughter. He misses her dearly from California. He won't stay away long.

At long last (Trump authorized this project in his first term) the Green Line Light Rail extension to Eden Prairie whispered past our place this week. They're just testing the systems and will be for quite some time, but it was fun to see. The red arrow marks our unit, a great vantage point to monitor the future service. There is great entertainment value for us seniors. We don't know how often we'll go downstairs and take a ride, but it opens up a lot of possibilities for trackside restauranting from here to St. Paul. The dangers of freeways with its drunk drivers, speeders, ragers, carjackers, weavers, lane jumpers, black ice, winter driving conditions, construction backups, jams and deadly accidents will be a thing of the past. An occasional mugging would be child's play, be front page news and scare everyone.
Kathleen was once much taller. Here she is in 1963 with her 57 year old Mom. She's 20 and has a beehive hair do popular at the time, giving her that extra height. She's 20 and loving hair dye as well. Florence had great legs all her life. She passed at 99.
