Big numbers

While we were riding today I pulled over and stopped to show GRider my bicycle odometer which indicated 8,000 miles for this bicycle. While we were stopped she showed me the odometer on her Bianchi which showed 4,500 miles. A double milestone.

GRider wanted to see the Fair deconstruction. We took the opportunity to wrap up a couple of Fair related loose ends. We attended the Fair only on the last day so there were a few things we really didn't see this year. This one is still available though and will be until just prior to next year's Fair. It is this year's DNR found junk sculpture.There is a deer and a heron in there. And a truck door and a bunch of other stuff.

Here is the one remaining church dining hall that I hadn't pictured. This one is pretty hard to miss as it is on the main street inside the main gate, a prime location.On the other hand, Saint Bernard's was on the main street even closer to the main gate and went out of business. Hamline looks pretty prosperous at least for now.

What's not to like about September temperatures in the 80s?
