Day: October 2, 2014

Excellent parsing of words.

Said by a mom at school to her third-grade daughter:

“It’s not about him being a man, it’s about him having a skill I don’t have.”

I was so excited by that phraseology I grabbed for a paper and pen to write it down.  In my ideal world, people would have skills and the gender of the person performing a skill wouldn’t matter.

Postcards from Minnesota

This is a neighborhood-centric representation of St. Paul.  Alas, the sender lives in Minneapolis, so her neighborhood is not represented.  I’m interested as to why a chunker of land on the other side of the river is still St. Paul.  I would have assumed that the river would be the sensible dividing line.
I adore this postcard, from a bookstore.  It’s design makes me look again.  And again and again and again. It’s going to look great when it makes it to the wall display.
A very nice arty view of the Stone Arch Bridge, which I can’t wait to see for myself.
Sadly, the postcards were labeled 1, 3, & 4 and #2 has gone missing. It’s been a week and has not shown up.
