Great post Barrett!Great pic!
Hope the drive is going well, Paul. That looks like a tasty meal!
I thought it was interesting that you stopped in Guthrie, OK. You’ll see why a bit further down in my post.
That’s what we always called it in Arkansas, too, but to be honest, you can call it either and I’d happily eat it, just as long as you didn’t put shredded cheese on top of the gravy like they did the first time I ordered it here in Minnesota.
Eleanor and I went downtown tonight and saw Into the Woods at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. It was a lot of fun, and Eleanor said that she liked it even more than the production of A Christmas Carol that we saw there in December (which was also great).

We got there a bit early and had time to walk around the outside of the theater (something we couldn’t do in December, as it was dark out even before the show started, and cold).

Unfortunately, because of the trees, you can’t really get a picture of the theater and its cantilevered “Endless Bridge” in one shot.

The theater is right next to the Washburn “A” Mill ruins and the Mill City Mueseum. I took a photo today of the old grain elevator and it’s iconic Gold Medal Flour sign, but the lighting was bad and my photo didn’t turn out very good, so instead I’ll just include these pics I that took a couple years ago when I was showing Merle around.

Anyways, we had a great time, and I managed to sneak a pic with my Albers Lambsfoot at intermission.

Bill your HHB stag is really extra special the way it has mellowed into that rich caramel patina. What a looker!Good morning Guardians. Another fine sunny morning but some rain chances tomorrow. We need it! Of to the dentist this afternoon to get my new crown installed. Going to Walmart for some stuff too. Expecting overnight guests today. Retired Colonel and his wife. I finally looked up why we pronounce Colonel "Kernal". If you are interested in the ranks of our armed forces and the history of them check out this site:
Got my HHB with me today.

Thank you very much Dwight, I have often wondered if it would have aged more if I hadn't carried it in a slip, but I'm pleased with the way it is coming alongWow that stag has mellowed nicely Jack.

Pete, I haven’t been in a barbershop in over 30 years. I just let my hair grow and now I just have to grab my pony tail and snip off an inch or two. Of course being a school teacher in SF allowed me to pretty much wear any way I wanted. I’m with Jack it doesn’t look bad. I’m inserting a thumbnail pic as to not scare folks.
Some haircuts look best in a hatIt’s worse than it looks in the picture.. That’s the last time I visit s&$@@ c!:&$
HHB is aging gracefully Jack!I just took a pic of my beloved Hartshead Barlow, and realised it's my 3000th photo of this knife!

Pete it really ain't that bad. You know what they say - The difference between a good haircut and a bad one is about two weeks.![]()
