I have a collection of photogenic trees around Minnesota that I keep going back to. Found a new one to add to the list. 🌳📸🌅 Also, I experienced a tripod malfunction, a happy accident resulting in...art.

I thought I was taking pics of the sunset behind a tall majestic Mississippi River bluff, but then I looked at the map... It's a landfill 🗑 LOL. Enjoy these pics of tonight's beautiful sunset over Rosemount Landill 😍🚮

Molchat Doma tonight at First Avenue. If you like dark, trance, new wave, Gothic synth pop... this is your jam. Creepy, unsettling, hypnotic but still danceable w the right ppl. There's an analogy abt current state of world in there, but I can't figure it out. Anyway, me know if you'll be there.

Introduced Rage Against The Machine to one of my 8th grade bass players today. Started with "Killing in the Name" live video. When famous refrain hit at the end, I knew he was hooked Hope he doesnt rat me out when parents hear, "F you, I won't do what you tell me!" blasting in his bedroom 👀😬🤷‍♂️

The day has come. I finally had the opportunity to use my Bug-A-Salt shotgun. It uses table salt as the projectile. Watch me send this fly to hell in slow motion. 🪰🧂🔫🫡

The concept of a king is deeply & singularly un-American. Truly foreign idea to all Americans, dummies included. It's baked in. It needs to stay in the conversation now. They know they can't, by definition, identify as 🇺🇸 patriot if they support him & thats painful gotcha for a lot of conservatves

We've had couple false alarms over few weeks, but camera don't lie. She's starting to creep down into lower 48. I don't think I can help myself. I'm going out to try. Sky is clear north of Twin Cities. I can't update from the road too much tonight, so you're on your own for this one🤞🫡🤘

Ventured out one last time to try for a sunset pic before brutal sub zero temps kick in tonight and continue for a week. It was a good one. Perfectly toasted marshmallow snow 🥶🔥 Schaar's Bluff, Hastings, Minnesota.

Sunset tonight over the Mississippi River bluffs. Look at the light pillar it left behind after dipping below the horizon. Spring Lake Park, Hastings, Minnesota.

Sabrina just dropped the deluxe version featuring Dolly Parton on "Please Please Please." I regret to inform you that Dolly does not sing "mother f'er." They changed the lyric 😭 open.spotify.com/track/6nrSo5...

We've been expecting fast solar wind to arrive at earth today from coronal hole on sun that was facing earth days ago. This can trigger aurora. Looks like she's arrived If conditions hold until sunset, I'll be listening to Super Bowl on radio as I go out to find her. Sky will be clear tonight! 🤞😃🤞

Becoming Zeppelin is incredible. I will need to see it again. I wish I could have taken notes. Too much to take in. Performances are thrilling. Overall, sound is great, except at times, high frequencies in the mix are painful. I'm not only one to notice. I would bring ear plugs if sensitive to that

February 7th, 2013. Lady Gaga at Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul, Minnesota for her Born This Way Ball. I've seen every tour she's brought to Minnesota except for her very first small show at the Fine Line (🫨) in 2009. She hasn't been back since 2017. I'm looking forward to the new album and tour!

I'm letting myself get too cynical and dark, probably a bit prematurely. But can you blame me? Lol. Like, holy F. The bastards got me already. It is really bad but we can't go there yet.

I've really been trying to log off. But apparently, an 8 hour break from the internet nowadays means a deluge of brand new terrible news that is hard to take in all at once. That's not helping me diminish my screen time. This new era sucks.
