Our house is a font of props.

Five old 70s style beer cans. Two Budweisers, three Old Milwaukees, and a Grain Belt. The Old Milwaukees have been slightly crushed.

Wife texted me asking for some coming household objects needed for props for her show. 10 minutes later the objects are getting less common. I'm now digging in the basement rafters for 70s beer cans left by the previous (alcoholic) owners.

I liked John Dillinger Slept Here for a history of crime in St. Paul. I think I read Minneapolis Madams and enjoyed that too. I've also liked stuff about the lost buildings of the Minneapolis (especially the Metropolitan Building) but not sure if that's for everybody.

Vote YES on the school amendment, Minnesota! Skipping the question is the same as a No vote. Yes for school funding that doesn’t affect your tax dollars whatsoever!

Sky is drinking from the outdoor water dish. This is a problem because that water is the protection money we pay to the squirrels so they won't eat the veg from our garden for its moisture content.

The Salted Nut Roll tells you what it is. They don’t call it the Bingly Wango Bar or something. They respect you and expect the same in return. You want a show? You want clowns? Then join the circus. We got engines to fix, goddammit.
