Lovely piece by @gracyolmstead about homecomers like @Sarah_Smarsh and @BenyaKraus rebuilding their towns, partly via @LeadForAmerica_. She quotes Simone Weil: "To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.”

I know this is pushing it, but I'm gonna grill. Had to scoop a little to get there.

The Northwest Angle is the northern most area in the lower 48 states. The only way to access it is to drive through Canada or cross Lake of the Woods. With the border closed due to COVID-19, resorts on the Angle built a 22-mile ice road, that spans from Warroad, MN to the Angle.

I asked an Iron Range waitress to pick my dessert. She introduced me to sweet potato poutine. And yes, that’s marshmallows on fries!

In this weather even if I’m just driving to a store across town I dress like my car may break down and I won’t be discovered for hours.

I know the Bernie mittens meme is past peak, but I had to wait until trash day to get the shot I needed.
