Ice Conditions For Stillwater, Shepard Road and Franklin Avenue Bridge

I had to run out to Stillwater today so I went up the river and snapped a photo of the farmed ice across the river. Then I went down the line on the way back finally stopping at Franklin where I did a bit of bouldering before going back to the office.

"Dude, did we go to Utah in the ‘70’s?"

Today I got an email from my first climbing partner Chris, that said, "Dude, did we go to Utah in the ‘70’s?" There was a copy of this photo attached to the email. Believe it or not this was only about 6 years ago. I thought I remembered coming into climbing kind of backwards. We were both ice climbing before we were rock climbing. Well, maybe I'm remembering things wrong.

Pine Needle Tea May Be Poisonous!

A few months ago my roommate got cable TV. I haven't had cable TV in 12 years. I don't watch much television. Partially because its boring and partially because I think it makes people stupid. Today I'm going deliver case and point.

Product Reviews

IllumiNITE – High visibility when daylight hours are low.

For those in training and commuters winter can bring about issues that may not be a big concern in the summer. I live in Minneapolis, MN and we only have between eight and nine hours of daylight in December. That’s just a little more than half of what we have in June. It’s likely cycling commuters will be going to work and coming home in the dark.
