Last night Jenny and I finally took a long walk down the recently-opened trail linking Swede Hollow Park to the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary (and eventually Mounds Park and beyond). It's strange to be in a wide-open field not far from downtown STP and just below Dayton's bluff. The area is pretty well hidden from the road and features remnant of old railroad tracks, industry, and old brewery buildings which were pretty cool. The best sight was a flooded cave which you can approach along the bluff. It is gated off (as are many caves around STP) and was apparently of some significance to people of the Dakota tribe some time ago.
On the way back, Jenny and I crossed the footbridge over highway 94, and I don't think either of us had crossed any roadway that size before. I think I enjoyed it a little more than Jenny did, but it was fun.

Exploring Facebook
Apparently, facebook is an excellent way to put your life on-line. You can link up with all your friends, post pictures, and explain every aspect of how you know each other and what you'v done together. No doubt this will be invaluable data for the government when investigating people for trivial misdemeanors and social inpolitenesses.
From what I can tell, the goal is to accumulate as many friends as possible and know them as many ways as possible. Extra points for tagging pictures. I believe you can win by trying to link yourself to Kevin Bacon through 6 friends or fewer.... so it's pretty fun overall.

Hey, I have a blog!
I've read that the first rule of establishing a good blog is to post very frequently. I think that is what makes this blog very successful.
After much indifferent pond-lapping, I unearthed a USB cable appropriate to requisition pictures from the digital camera I was borrowing, and have uploaded them to a Facebook site so all of you can see our new house. I think you can get to it by going to facebook.com and looking for me... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=533702501 might work, but I'm really not too familiar w/ this system.
If one of you knows a better way to link to those pictures, please leave helpful instructions in the comments section.
Why did I choose Facebook? I'm really not certain, though I am out of touch with internet conveniences and I know several of you are on that site... and it's not myspace, so that's something. Well, I hope I can expect to find numerous new "friends" next time I log in.
Cheers
