Any one hear multiple explosion noises about 30-40 miles north of bemidji? From about 9:50-10:10
Almost sounded like an artillery barrage

Today is reporting day for US Senate candidates who have raised or spent at least $5,000 in pursuit of the office. No doubt you will hear of some fabulous sums, and the independent expenditures for or against them will remain somewhat foggy. I have not raised enough to report, but I want you to know that I have parted with almost $1100, including the $400 filing fee, in my pursuit of it! All my own money, Visa and Mastercard notwithstanding. The detail is here:

I also made a trip up to Duluth on its notorious AQI 1000 day, and made a video for their community access television service. Many thanks to the service, and much sympathy for Northern Minnesota residents struggling to breathe last week. Here is a link to the video. I have not yet viewed it, so gawk at your own risk:

and a reminder that sometimes when I communicate with voters, and always with any interest group, I take out private identifiers and put it in my growing DropBox document folder:

Thanks again for considering my candidacy.

I wonder if the "baddest of the bad" got targeted. Does Bemidji feel safer in ICE's presence?

And why Bemidji? We know 47 has an axe to grind against MN...I do not follow Bemidji news on a regular basis.

Wondering if there is some virus going around, mainly a stomach virus? Gut not happy, low-grade fever, fatigue. Feeling this way has gotten really old. Wondering if it’s just me or something I’ve picked up. Thanks!

I recently inherited a family cabin that is in need of some wood siding and window repairs from the July storm last year. I've inquired at several places in the area but I keep getting ghosted when I request quotes.

Does anyone here have a suggestion for a contractor I could use?
