Ashes of American Flags

October 23, 2020October 24, 2020 / crowcityblog / Leave a comment

“I would like to salute The ashes of American flags And all the fallen leaves Filling up shopping bags” Wilco lyrics by Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett My son’s chain keeps falling off his bike so, like the dutiful father I am, I drop it off at the Hub repair shop. I feel anxious because … Continue reading Ashes of American Flags

Sign of the Times

July 5, 2020October 13, 2020 / crowcityblog / Leave a comment

  Some genius has scrawled “FUCK THIS MAILBOX” real big in marker on a blue box in front of the Northrop Auditorium. Now I guess this is supposed to be funny, but I will admit it angers me.  They’ve got electronic eyes all over the place like a science fiction movie, but I can’t imagine … Continue reading Sign of the Times

Bulls on Parade

There’s always peace and graffiti down by the river.  I did a bit of fishing this morning to refresh my mind from all the terrible events.  I wrote first, so I didn’t get out to the water in time for any kind of bite.  But I got in some great fly casting and took some … Continue reading Minnesota Burning–Part 2

Minnesota Burning–Part 1

May 31, 2020June 7, 2020 / crowcityblog / Leave a comment

  Back in March, when I learned about the pandemic's potential severity, I could not sleep.  Something was coming.  Something I could not control or understand.  I panicked. That morning, I instructed my wife to shop.  I told her to stock up on canned goods.  I explained that no one was going to risk their … Continue reading Minnesota Burning–Part 1
