Minneapolis Snow

It's finally snowed up here in the great midwestern plains. It's been a long wait, last year at this time, we'd had 9 major snow storms and we had completely run out of places to put it. As Joe Soucheray would say, we needed to practice 'space management' in a big way. As you can see from this image, it's barely any snow at all, yet the highways are stopped and everyone's driving like a Floridian.

Pontiac

If you don't wax your car for a real long time, you can have a finish just like this! The combination of chrome and deteriorating finish remind me of the omnipresent scorched patina in the Star Wars universe.

Sign of Decay

I don't think the gang graffiti did this sign much harm. I absolutely love the weird oozing stains along the top of the pillars, who knows what did that.

Black Friday Savings

Just a little something for those of you who get up early for this day of savings. I however, am staying in bed.

Synthetic Baseball Fans

The Minnesota Twins are now playing outside at the new Target Field. This billboard just appeared recently on the edge of their property. It's visible from Interstate 394, but only from the back, so today while I was out biking I managed to get a good look at it from the front. It's right at the entrance to the Cedar Corridor Bike Trail downtown, across from Lee's Liquor (see below).

Reflecting on the Grain Belt Sign

There was just enough ripple to the river to make it clear that it was a reflection, but not so much as to ruin the reflection. Moments later, the wind picked up and the image was scrambled. The comments on the sign this week were really great, thanks for the information! Hopefully the sign will come back to life. Speaking of life and water, check it out, the moon is actually wet!
