A Day In Duluth


The famous Aerial Lift Bridge

We spent yesterday in Duluth, Minnesota about 140 miles northeast of our home on the shore of Lake Superior. There is nowhere like Duluth...at least, nowhere near here. Some photos:

Scenes from the Lake Walk...

We ate dinner on the patio of the famous Grandma's Restaurant, with an awesome view of the lift bridge. We even toughed it out through a rain shower, but it was well worth it since we got to see this ship come through and under the bridge. The Canadian Enterprise...

We love Duluth and if not for the shorter growing season and the lack of work, we would move there in a heartbeat!

Lisa -
I've been reading your blog for a few weeks - I really enjoy the post and photos of your garden. But I just had to write today - I'm originally from Superior, WI! Right across the bay from Duluth!!
I moved to Idaho in 1981, the southeast area (Pocatello), then in 2004 moved up to beautiful northern Idaho.
I occasionally watch the Duluth Aerial bridge (& the boats moving in & out of the harbor) on the Lake Superior Museum web cam.

My cousin and her family live in Duluth - it's just wonderful there! And the drive along the lakeshore from Duluth to the Canadian border is such a delightful trip. I hope I get to do it again one day.

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north. News reports are incomplete and, of course, skewed to the "need for order" and fear tactics. Of course we don't want violence, but come on! Has it come to this? This could be my family! Or anyone's family, simply doing their thing...Read on...(emphases are mine) Some links first: Youtube Video Twin Cities Daily Planet news with photo Flickr photos Happenings at the RNC here in St.Paul Minnesota.
