Gigging the Long Tail

About to start live blogging this book project, pivoting off working title Every Job I Ever Had, now a subtitle. Premise is to review changes in late 20th Century employment and job roles.

Question now is how to illustrate the Long Tail instead of this guy…

Picked up a fave black tea at United Noodles in Minneapolis. Chinese Lichee adds a pleasant fruit flavor—almost as nice as the incredible Currant Black Tea from Grand Fete in Hudson, Wisconsin. Good alternatives to swigging my morning coffee.

Encountered this discarded sign outside a bus stop along Minnehaha & East Lake near our abandoned Minneapolis Police station.

Didn’t pay off?

Spring Equinox Sunset over East Lake Street, Minneapolis looking straight West. A bit stratified on horizon — clearer years, I capture a Yellow Ball hitting the pavements

Nine inches of heavy snow atop freezing rain in Minneapolis makes for lots of icicles and snow shelves.

RIP Chloe circa 2008—2024 She was a shelter cat with history, but a fun companion with lotsa spunk. Let the hole in my heart fill with sweet memories. Chloe’s Adoption Note

Yea, voted early at a Popup in Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Making a day of it for a personal holiday! Democracy, Art, and ending with Jazz & small plates at Berlin club downtown listening to Brandon Wozniak and Bryan Nichols.

Vote & Celebrate Peeps!!!

Was putting The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon in my Little Free Library, then noticed the back cover Promo:

HE WANTED POWER. SHE WANTED REVENGE.

Now I need to read this Presidential Campaign Thriller as it echoes current headlines.

So enjoyed visiting Sterling Vineyards up a gondola ride for gorgeous views of Napa Valley in Calistoga CA. Oh, excellent wines too.

Hibiscus flower is blooming. Short-lived gigantic flowers that look like satellite dishes to fetch the bees. To celebrate made a batch of Hibiscus sun tea for summer punch.
