Irresponsible

Smoking on a balcony reportedly started an early morning blaze on Thanksgiving. The 6 units at Cinnamon Ridge Apartments at 4565 Slater Road were wrecked but luckily none of the 20 residents were injured.

Our front doors are decorated for Christmas! Do the wreathes make you think of lingonberries or cranberries?

Bond....James Bond

My wife and I watched Agent 007 run, shoot, leap and sashay through 2.5 hours of action, suspense and death defying tricks on Saturday night at Eagan's Regal 16 Theaters.  Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like to be an international spy.....

Football dude

The Eastview Lightning booster club placed specialized signs in all the high school varsity football players' own yards to congratulate them on getting to the state competition.

It landed up there and looked down at me! What a beauty! Anyone know what kind of bird it is?

Stepping up...

Tuesday was an important day for all to vote, an American right, responsibility and privilege. Our voting took place at nearby Chapel Hill Church.  The ballot included presidential candidates, amendments and election of local politicians, etc.

Community conservatives


These 4 candidates fly a Republican flag.  It's election day - vote!

Local liberals


Political yard signs abound as we approach the national election day of November 6. Voters will reelect or replace the president, choose the 113th Congress, settle 33 Senate and 13 governors' races and select a slate of state, territorial and local representatives.  How will you vote?

En route to school

Our daughter captured these wild turkeys with her iPhone from the car window.  Those birds will be more nervous later in November!
