So I ate lunch at a new Vietnamese restaurant in the Minneapolis skyway system. It advertises itself as being "Vietnamese Street Food." How authentic is Vietnamese street food from the Minneapolis skyway system?

And if I get dysentery from it, will it be the full-blown Mei Kong Delta dysentery from Vietnam or will it be some kind of homogenized, Minnesota-nice type dysentary?

Where is this place? I may have to try it out...

Why are most people completely unaware of their surroundings?

We have a crosswalk mid block (a very long block) with a traffic light by our building. It is on a busy street with a curve where people treat it like a Gran Prix race. The light is really slow so people often cross against the light. Earlier this week I was waiting for a gap because I was feeling lucky. I watched a women take two steps off the curb and wait in a traffic lane for the light to change with her face buried in her phone. I found a gap and started across. She followed suit never really looking up from her phone. I hurried across because there was a car coming but she sauntered with her nose still buried in her phone. A car in the center line lane ended up having to slow down because she was crossing against the light.

People are soooo dumb sometimes.

Well one less gopher in the world COD acute lead poisoning.

I read that as "Gopher" and thought it was pretty callous. Up here in Minnesota we tend to put a different meaning to that word on first reading.

I get it now.

That happens to ground squirrels at our place. I like them, they're cute...but they destroyed my hosta bed, my daffies, my tulips, and half of my lilies by tunneling all through my garden. Buh Bye, suckas!

You'll probably lose your camera to when dining at the Me Love You Long Time patio.

Okay, enough stalling, must prep for bike ride. 78 and sunny with low dew point of 50. No excuses.

Rhubarb crisp would probably be my best pre-ride energy food choice, mirite?

Life: "Ah, hey Pants! I see you're 32. Over halfway through your way to retirement age!"

Pants: "Yeah, it's pretty cool. I've finally accepted adulthood and realized I'm not too bad at it."

Life: "That's cool, Pants, I'm proud of you!"

POOF!!!! Giant pimple appears on the forehead.

Sounds like a B-complex and vitamin-K deficiency.

You know what's high in those vitamins and is missing from your diet? RHUBARB!
