I’ve been too long away — from Twitter. And my package is now overdue. Ordered from @BNBuzz 5/26, shipped via @UPS “Mail Innovations” from Smyrna, Tenn., arrived UPS Twin Cities location 5/27. @UPS says it left for local @USPS. I think package is now, 6/8, in the twilight zone.

Just wondering, @BurnsvilleMN, if there’s a plan to repair the boulevard damage along 122nd St. from street work this summer? And then there’s the fiber-optic installation damage. Not pretty. This shot is at the corner of 122nd St. and Parkwood ...

Perhaps Gov. Walz should ask Steve Grove, “What we’re you thinking?” Perhaps they don’t teach ethics at Harvard or learn ethics at Google. #minnpolitics #mndfl #dontdothat

At the time of his death George Floyd was being arrested for passing a fake $20 bill. Then I read Derek Chauvin, along with his wife, are being charged with under-reporting income. They owe $37,868. The difference is far greater than the dollar amount. https://t.co/KAXMp7bWS4

Things you can do on Monday when you’re retired ... watch Rosellen make an apple pie. #MinnesotaHarvest #HaralsonApples #applepie #retiredlife

@chariscol It was a beautiful day for a walk, drinking good coffee and going to the gallery (and getting tickets for a couple upcoming performances).

From a stroll west down 122nd St., to a quiet seat in Jo Jo’s Rise n Wine, to the gallery in the Ames Center for the fall exhibit of the Minnesota Watercolor Society, #BurnsvilleMN provided a wonderful retired morning.

Meeting time ... #DFL51 (or MN Senate District51 Dems) at Rasmussen College in Eagan — already talking the 2020 election season kickoff celebration. It’s that time.

I would have sworn it was pic from #Florida. Can't be #BurnsvilleMN.

It’s not just dogs that we find on the loose. Anyone missing a Python?

I only have the left one. Does anyone have right one? #woodenshoes #Dutch #Netherlands It’s just one of those days.

Just to note, I have never voted for anyone based on their gender, sexual orientation or faith. I just won't. I vote for the individual who, I believe, will work hardest to best serve my neighbors, state and nation. #DFL #GOP

When I told a woman I would vote for any of the four "progressive" women (and that I had voted for @AngieCraigMN), I was told, "You voting on how a women [sic] should be is just as repressing." They should know I vote for the individual who, I think, will best serve my district.

Donald Trump #RacistPresident is now being televised delivering a double-down racist sentiments and demanding that the audience "be quiet" through his demented racist screed. This is hate speech, pure and simple.

45 years ago I enlisted in the @USNavy. Over the next four years, my mother saved many of my letters home. Those letters could generate a story or two -- #retirementplanning #retirement #memorylane #nostalgia #amwriting

When did @WellsFargo start rejecting cards at its ATMs on its premises? I’m supposed to enter a code that’s texted to me? Really? I can’t go to an ATM without my phone? Crazy.

The next time someone says Bernie doesn't support women..... Seems to me he's the one supporting when it matters. #Bernie2020 #IStandWithIlhan https://t.co/inL7NO5xp1

Alan Bullock wrote "A Study in Tyranny" years ago. In it you can find that Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany in January 1933. He obtained emergency power about two months later in March 1933. Just noting. #emergencydeclaration
