iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's a perfectly fine airport. Only major flaw (that isn't just "it's a commercial airport that has high prices at vendors") is that there's no redundancy for the airport train (which I heard they're fixing in a few years by opening up a walking tunnel.)

The second greatest sin of the random self serve deli near my gate at the Denver airport last week is they didn't have these. (The greatest sin is that they asked for a tip. For self service. Who's even getting the tip?!?!)

I legit had the flu last week. Not sure how that happened, but my doctor was sure surprised about it.

I did the Minneapolis Queen riverboat tour and that was really cool, though only a subset of Minneapolis history. Many eons ago I did a Gray Line city tour that was pretty interesting, and I keep getting TikTok ads for Minneapolis Trolley Tours (though their AI banner does not spark joy.)

RABID BAT FOUND ON SIDEWALK
On Tuesday, September 15 at about 12pm, a bat was found on the sidewalk on Hennepin Ave between N. Washington Ave and N 3°St.
The bat died and was sent for rabies testing. This bat tested positive for
rabies.
A woman was seen crouching by the bat and putting it into a bag. She was described as a 25-to-30-year-old white woman, about 5'5", with curly brown hair and a curly-haired golden retriever-like dog. If this was you, please call 911 and ask to be connected to Animal Care & Control.
Bites from bats are tiny, may be painless, and may not leave a mark. An person who had physical contact or touched this bat should talk with health care provider this weekend for assessment. During the week, Minnesota Department of Health can also provide rabies assessments at 651-201-5414.
If vou did not touch or have any contact with the bat, you have no risk of rabies and do not need shots.

If I can't get from MSP to Omaha in under two hours via HSR, we've failed as a nation.

Wait you’re not sourcing your oil from an artisanal well in North Dakota?

No one tells you how much doing anything while having the flu will make you sweat. A walk to Walgreens? Sweat upon sweat.

Yeaaaahhhhh…we had that on our flight last night and it was not fun. (Drunk guy, though, not kid.)

BUT NOT TOO MANY JUST BEFORE YOU GET ON A PLANE (I’m stuck at a gate because a drunk person puked while we were taxiing and we had to go back to the gate.)

It’s so weird to experience Southwest without the boarding pillars. Just another generic airline now.

Glad I'm not listening to it. I'm actually listening to radio audio from WCCO AM on the day of the attacks (radiotapes.com has a lot of historical radio audio that's worth listening to.)

I follow an aviation blog that, every year, remembers today by making a post with the names of all the on-duty crewmembers that were killed. IMO it's quite worthwhile to do so.

If you need to ever rent a car, Costco has some of the best rates anywhere, and a second driver is always included.

I didn’t notice any extra checks

Oh? Also, can you schedule it online? I only saw the generic Moderna and Pfizer, not mNEXSPIKE specifically.

Jeb Rach @jebrach.com · 05/09/2026

I'm waiting for St. Paul Corner Drug to get mNEXSPIKE - hopefully that'll be soon!

Sakura happy hour is 10/10. You're telling me I can get a freshly made shake makki for $5, sake for $5, and it's walking distance from my downtown apartment? Sold!

Makes sense, since $25/year probably barely covers the cost of maintaining the signage.

My dialect does not cross the Appalachians.

Dialect map focused on Minnesota/North Dakota, with large bars radiating west and lots of blue (least like you) in the south and east.

A 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage on a car ferry. It is blue.

I am SO GLAD that I was able to get the Mirage the last year they sold it in the US market. There's no other cheap hatchbacks!
