This year, i'm extremely grateful to my Dad (and Mom, but he was the leader on this) for executing a well-constructed durable general power of attorney years ago. Never needed it for ages, until we needed it a TON this year. Made many situations that could've been complicated, simple.

I get there's a lot right now, but i'd like to share this. I’ve spent the last 5 years doing my best to cover Minneapolis by taking photos daily. It’s my hope that seeing the thousands of photos in chronological order will provide a unique look back. chaddavis.photography/minneapolis-...

I got so mad 5 years ago by people NOT from here telling people HERE that we were spreading COINTELPRO because we knew a bunch of people were not from round here: 1. The people not from here told us that. 2. The public defenders saw the bookings list 3. You do not understand what "outstate" means

I was awoken by a wild turkey gobbling in the yard, followed shortly by a laying chicken. So nice to be back in the city!
