I had lunch over near Macalester College, a private liberal arts college near here, and near and dear to the heartstrings of some reader(s). Lunch at the Italian Pie Shoppe. They have some good pie, and a nice lunch special. On the way I encountered an "art car" parked on the street near what was once Ace Hardware. I have encountered several of these the last few months, including in the Grand Old Day parade, and I'm starting to suspect that there may be some sort of movement afoot. Perhaps a conspiracy. There was, in fact, another similarly festooned auto on Grand Avenue near the shoppe. I always wonder what the redecoration of these autos does to their resale value, but the autos are usually on their last owner. I've included an informative video of a Minnesota art car parade from earlier this year. Just the thing for a gray day.
My main exercise today was a long walk past the new rain garden that PP and her MCC cohorts installed at Linwood, then around the block, up the big stairs, north to Summit and past the Guv's Mansion, and back home. About an hour. I plan to revisit the tennis wars tomorrow come blue or come gray.
