Now that our chimney is fixed and we installed a wood-burning fireplace insert, we’re looking firward to heating our house with wood this winter. We just got two cords of beautiful firewood delivered by Robinson’s Tree Service. Hit them up at 612-390-0879 if you need good, dry, split hardwood.

Also, it looks like I can’t vote today anyway. Voting in person at the Plato Building is only available on weekdays. And other locations don’t open up until mid-October.

I’m running out of room for my collection of DFL lawn signs!

Cool! I put a red circle around my best guess at which one it might be. Thanks for your help!

Oh wait! I think I have the wrong building. Based on the photo I shot, I think it might be this building (which was also a stable)!

Thanks, everyone! This is the best information I've seen yet! Apparently it was a stable, connected to a shed/privy, connected to a dwelling. These images are from the People and Places of the Capitol map within this GIS story map at storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d805...

Who want to help solve a mystery?! It looks like the construction crews working on the State Office Building next to the Capitol have unearthed something unexpected. Looks like it might be an old retaining wall or something. Are there any historians or map nerds who can help us solve this mystery?

A crew from Chimney Doctors spent the last few days (in the crazy heat) rebuilding our chimney from the roofline up and installing a wood-burning fireplace insert. Now we can safely have fires again, and — because we went with an insert — those fires will actually help heat our house!

While you're at it, think about sending a note to the event sponsors. It's extremely disappointing to see Saint Paul Parks and Recreation on that list. bsky.app/profile/fole...

I got an email from the Saint Paul Classic today, and was excited to sign up, as I am most years. But, while browsing the website, I noticed a "Stop SART" tab. How disappointing! Go to bikeclassic.org/contact. Tell them how hypocritical is is to use the Grand Round while advocating against SART.

Hey Twin Cities Tacos! Don’t park your food truck illegally and block a stop sign and a crosswalk at a busy intersection in front of the Capitol. If you want a good parking spot for the lunch rush, you need to get here by 9am, like all the other food trucks did!

After an emotional winter in Minnesota, it felt lovely being back at Allianz Field for the Loons home opener. We have club seats this year! I posed with the I-35 Cup in the Wonderwall and spotted a new “Once a Loon, Always a Loon” display in the concourse. Plus, our rebel loon tifo was a hit! #mnufc

As visiting @mnufc.com fans, we were overwhelmed today by the solidarity displayed by @losverdesatx.bsky.social supporters. They waved Minnesota state flags during their march, wrote messages on one, and brought all the flags up to us in our section. Thank you! #fuckice #mnufc #austinfc #classact

Maybe someone has already done this, but if not, let's create an anti-ICE organization with the acronym of FIRE! Maybe something like "Federal Immigration Reform Entity." OK, that's not very good. What else can we come up with? #iceout #iceoutmn #mn #minnesota #ice #fire
