The view down Sixth Street



The view towards the Target Center from Marquette Ave. I accidently loaded two versions of this view and like the way the City Center stacks in the photos.
The real hidden treasure in this shot, however, is that you can see four skyways at once. I tried to time it so there were silhouettes in all four.

Koi in the morning fog


Zen garden at Normandale Community College, Bloomington, Minnesota. Koi in the pond, about 7 a.m. today. It was foggy and looked cool, but the temperature was in the high 70's already that early in the morning. My lenses fogged up when I got out of the car, and I had to wait several minutes for the them to clear up as they reached air temperature outside.

Taking the pain out of dentistry


Holly, on the left, and Debbie, on the right, help make my visits to the dentist something to appreciate. Dr. Kris Kalenda's office in Bloomington has been an oasis of competent practice and friendly encounters. That's me in the background, appearing to sneak up to tickle them. In fact, I am taking their picture, and that is a mirror. You knew that.

Sam and Ugaso in Azia


Sam, just back from Japan. We celebrate with him and Ugaso in Azia, which is closing soon. In the meantime, we discovered some great wasabi tuna, sukiaki, and saki.

My what nice teeth you have!


This is Deb on the left, who is the assistant to Dr. Kris Kalenda on the right. They are doing wonders for my teeth right now. They want to do even more. I will let them. It is hard to say "no" to people who make your smile even brighter.
