That reminds me of the snow pile outside my grandparents door during winter gatherings. We never got that creative with itt though.

Sourdough library

Libraries across Finland have been developing their non-traditional collections to include everything from home improvement tools to musical instruments, blood pressure monitors and snowshoes.

Now Espoo’s Lippulaiva library is offering patrons 50-gram sourdough starter bags.

The fermented culture does not, however, need to be returned to the library, Maaseudun tulevaisuus reports.

Rochester, Minnesota that is.

The tower has been around for almost a century as part of the city’s skyline, built as part of a cannery south of downtown. Reid, Murdoch and Co. built the 151-foot-tall tower in 1931, two years after the company opened a food canning plant near old Hwy. 14, on land that used to be part of Graham Park.

The water tower’s novelty design and recognition as a local waypoint and roadside attraction — pilots in training at a flight school in the 1940s used it as a beacon — meets state historic preservation guidelines similar to the fishing bobber tower in Pequot Lakes or the Big Fish in Cass County.

(here’s a gift link if you want a better look at the photo, but there isn’t too much more to the aticle)

He looks closer to 60 than I do, and I am reliably informed I am 57.

North Korean state media has confirmed that he just turned 39 for the 6th consecutive year.* He def looks older, but evading/conducting assassination plots on the regular probably ages a dude.
