no one knew quite what television would be good for -- 6/8/23 June 8, 2023
Today's encore selection -- from One Summer by Bill Bryson. Before Philo T. Farnsworth's entry emerged as the successful version of the new technology, AT&T debuted its much inferior version of the television. But no one yet knew quite what it would be used for: "In the spring of 1927 ... an arresting story appeared […]
the increase in inequality -- 6/6/23 June 6, 2023
Today's selection -- from Slouching Towards Utopia by J. Bradford DeLong. The formula for economic growth that economists bequeathed to the Global South has failed to close the wealth gap, and in fact that gap has increased: "In 1870, when the long twentieth century began, British industry stood at the leading edge of economic and technological […]

This despondent looking crew are the drawn from the various Scandanavian, German, and Irish families settled in or near Wadena, Minnesota during the late 1800s. Wadena, located in the west-central part of the state, was (and is) a pretty small town, so some of these kids probably had an epic daily commute, by foot, from […]

Honey Fried Chicken and Waffles May 20, 2023
Super crispy fried chicken, drizzled with a warm honey glaze, served with the fluffiest buttermilk waffles!

My Porch Zoo June 5, 2023
There’s been some unusual activity on my front porch this spring. I put out food for stray cats, but a lot of other critters are interested in the free buffet. Here’s one of the foxes who stops by regularly. Perhaps he thinks that if he takes the bowl away, he’s the only one who’s going […]

Comparing Mint Plants: Spearmint, Apple & Chocolate April 23, 2020
Mint is a reasonably cold-hardy perennial, meaning it grows back every year under the right conditions. Just like there are many different kinds of tomatoes (cherry, beefsteak, roma, etc.), there are plenty different varieties of mint, too. Here’s an overview comparison of three different kinds of mints that grow well for me in Anchorage, Alaska: […]
