missing bike
Yarg! My hand-me-down old mountain bike has gone amiss from my back yard. Tsk Tsk to me for not locking it up. Worth nothing but nostalgia. ’97(?) Trek mountain bike, lots of stickers on it (beer stickers, environmental, farming, skiing), had an unfinished wood basket on the back and an extremely rusty chain. black with teal accents. if you see it, let me know! Thanks, y’all.

Lost doggy
We lost a dog around the Kenwood-Howard Gnesen area. His name is Max, he is a 10-year-old yellow lab with our phone number on his collar. Have you seen him?
Have you seen any Greg Cougar Conley look-alikes lately?
On the left is Twin Cities’ writer Brian Beatty, and on the right is some dude who was at Carmody Irish Pub last night. Below, Greg Cougar Conley.
Old Cemetery
One of the oldest and prettiest cemeteries in the area is also one of the most obscure. This one is on Cemetery Road off County Road Z, near County Road A, just south of Superior.

Unnecessary Quotation Marks
I would feel a lot more comfortable eating food at the DECC if it came from a catering kitchen instead of a “catering kitchen.”
Health care – Your thoughts!

Zave Zou Zeen Zo Zhe Zinema?
Have you been to the Zinema yet? I went to see The Big Lebowski last Friday and Moon earlier this week. If you have not been, what are you waiting for? This theatre is a jewel! I have been bitching for years about the lack of good movies in Duluth and now the drought is over.
Nick and I have made a commitment to support the Zinema 2 as much as humanly possible. Hell, I don’t have to sneak my beer in anymore, they sell it at the concession stand! Good beer on tap and for those on a budget get a bucket of Premiums for 10 bucks. When you are done with those 6 beers you can pee in the bucket! No more pesky bathroom breaks! More exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously the Zinema 2 is the best thing to happen to Duluth in a long time and I hope it is supported. Quit yer bitching and go see a movie!
United Way Chili Cook-off Tips
Having attended the United Way Chili Cook-off numerous times, I have two pieces of advice to those who either have never gone before or don’t easily learn from past mistakes:
1) Don’t wear a jacket or sweatshirt into the event. It’s pretty warm outside this year, so maybe you wouldn’t have done that anyway, but my point is that no matter what the weather is like outside, there are 40 different kinds of chili being cooked for a giant crowd of people inside. It gets hot.
2) It’s best to go to this event with someone you don’t mind sharing food with. Instead of the two of you getting two portions of everything, just get one portion and share. If you like that particular chili, get a second portion. If you don’t, move on. You don’t want to waste a lot of time and stomach on a chili you don’t like, because there are many that you will like if you can get to them before they run out.
2009 United Way Chili Cook-off
Sept. 17 | 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. | DECC

Also, I should note two art openings going on tonight (Sept. 17) for your post-chilifest enjoyment:
1) “Burning Bridges,” new paintings by Eric Dubnicka at Washington Gallery from 5 to 7 p.m.
2) Photography by Nate Lindstrom at the Spiritual Deli from 7 to 9 p.m.
