In no particular order I enjoy: reading, bicycling, friends, music, arts, and volunteering. Home is near 45° N , 93° W. 🚫DMs I want a normal life where we don't have to worry about the actual fate of our country every damn minute.

It's been really bad in Minneapolis. We've been tied with Chicago for city with the world's worst air quality. Trump canceled climate efforts and gutted the EPA while we were being cautioned to stay indoors because of air quality. And the MAGAs cheered. No doubt in my mind, it's a cult.
