  1. Good morning from Minnesota, where the Gopher State may become the first to outlaw prediction-market gambling.

    We're shocked—shocked—the legislature agreed on anything substantial. Live and learn—don't starve the loon. [Loon sound effect, audio logo of the Minnesota State Lottery].

    Quite early Thursday morning it's 51℉; fair skies; fair barometer; light winds at the moment; and visibility 10 miles at the airport.

    Today
    A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 79. Breezy, with a south southeast wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.

    “I’m concerned that the rapid increase in access to prediction markets will create a spike in gambling addiction and financial loss, hurting Minnesota families. It will dramatically cut into the revenue of Minnesota’s regulated gambling, including charitable gambling, casinos, and racetracks.”
    —State Sen. John Marty, quoted in the morning paper

  6. Gorgeous blooms on a large & healthy Indian bean tree aka cigartree or Southern catalpa.

    It prefers moist soil with full sun. It's easily raised from seeds which germinate early in the first season. It multiplies readily from cuttings. This tree is fairly free from fungal diseases & has few insect enemies. Which is why many landscapers love to add it.
    The wood of these trees are brittle/hard, but doesn't rot easily; it's used for fence posts & railroad ties.

  7. Just a quiet cluster of blossoms in morning light. Spring has a way of showing up softly when you’re paying attention.
