In Search of Duluth Volunteer Opportunities

I am looking for volunteer opportunities in and around Duluth. Tips for where to look for opportunities or actual opportunities themselves would be much appreciated.

Donation of Screenprinting for Bradfest?

Anyone out there interested in donating their mad screenprinting skills (and subsequent equipment) to help make some fund-raise-able goods for upcoming Bradfest August 13 & 14? It’s looking to be a really killer fundraiser for MN musicians, and a celebration of the life of Brad Rozman, former percussionist for local bands Equal Xchange and High Volt Rustler. If you can help, I’ll bake you two pies and will blush and stammer next time I see you. Thanks for considering!

Stimulating the economy … one slightly used car at a time.

I like this idea.

Craigslist: $189,900 Buy our house, get a FREE car (Cloquet)

They’re giving away a car along with a house. I wonder if I could get a motorcycle if I rent an apartment? Or maybe I could get a scooter if I rent a storage unit?

Literary Quote

“The foreman was a short, iron-jawed man. He had once made a trip as far as Duluth. Duluth was far across the blue waters of the lake in the hills of Minnesota. A wonderful thing had happened to him there.”

— Ernest Hemingway

THE TORRENTS OF SPRING
(1926)

My Morning Rhymes

In the morning at the crack of dawn down in Canal Park, I watch the sun breaking through the grim dead of dark. I stand behind a counter to make sure people get their smokes, and watch the kids run around with their different folks. The hillside is coming down so they all can get their toaks, no drinks so they all got their different strokes. Yes, sometimes I choose to be under influence: of my brothers, my sister, or just my common sense. Hence, I make my own decisions seeing life with my own vision, and with great precision I thee wed this great division. So to all of you today, I say, test a water that’s uncharted, cause this is my day, and I’m just getting started.

Quack Quack

Sitting in my office on the Lakewalk. I heard a tap, tap, tap and looked up to see a mallard sitting on the window ledge saying, “good morning.” I tried to feed him Soy Chips.

Duluth’s Northern Waters Smokehaus on Food Network

Is the episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives involving local joints posted anywhere on YouTube or foodnetwork.com?

I missed the episode and want to see it.

Emergency Vehicles on the Lakewalk

What’s up? Daily, ambulances, police cars, and now today fire trucks, rescue vehicles, even the water boat were all present on the Lakewalk. Training perhaps? Seagull attacks? We’re just not sure.

“The North Shore” car window sticker

A few weeks ago, a car passed me that had a window sticker that looked like the North Face logo, except it said “The North Shore.” I’d never seen it before, and it’s one of the first stickers I feel is worthy of putting on my car.

Anyone know where I can find it?

London Road Area PDDers

My cat is missing. His name is Cuthbert Burbage and if you see him please contact me, Lawrence, at ironic1@ ironic1.com. He was last seen near the corner of London Road and 52nd Avenue East around 9:15 this morning. Thanks.

Update: He’s back! My neighbor saw him and let him back into my house while I was out!  Thanks for all who kept their eyes open!
