The Florida Capitol has a sign that says “The Florida Capitol”?

Check register showing calendar years 2026, 2027 and 2028

And you may ask yourself: Well, how did I get here?

Lou Holtz, college football staple who coached Gophers, dies at 89 Lou Holtz, the College Football Hall of Fame coach who led Notre Dame to the 1988 national championship and won 249 games over 33 seasons at six schools, has died. He was 89.

It’s hard to imagine the level of excitement here when Lou Holtz arrived to take over a moribund Gophers football program. Or the disappointment when he left less than 2 years later.

Glad you’re back with us! 😆

Is it just the whistle or is this one of those “find all the differences” puzzles?

And what a beautiful note from Bob Schieffer.

Turf Club visits also count toward citizenship!

No, Firefox, I do not care what’s new in version 3,826,947

If I want Samoas instead of Caramel deLites, can I order them online from a Little Brownie Bakers territory? Or do the Girl Scouts have safeguards against such shenanigans?

I redeemed mine (from 1991, thanks Mom!) at my credit union last fall, took like 20 minutes, but they said they wouldn’t be doing it anymore after Dec. 31. They made it sound like a government rules change but check with your bank or credit union.

The Guthrie is developing a “documentary theater piece” about the ICE surge in Minnesota with Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen (The Exonerated, Coal Country): wfly.co/r7HQe

Yep - (noted in story above, should be a gift link) until it was demolished in ‘97

You shall not pass: I knew Ameriprise was moving out of their building across the street from my workplace in downtown Minneapolis, but I did not know the whole thing is now vacant? 31-story office tower. 💀

Sweet Martha’s cookies. When they cost $35 a bucket I will still buy them once a year.

Just witnessed two Honda Element drivers exchanging the secret Honda Element salute at a stoplight. Also possibly the first time I have seen a Honda Element driver under the age of 50.

THEY GOT IT FROM THEIR MAMA!

Worse: presenting the stuffed mascots to the silver medalists.

The Gaudreau kids 😭

Gentlemen! There is no fighting at the Olympics!
