Bicycled from Rushford to Peterson and back.
Got Louise back from Smith's bicycle shop in La Crosse, Wisconsin* with new Marathon tires. The old ones had green showing through that I kept missing, but the clerk and my wife saw it right away.
Did my bicycle ever need some work. It's like having a new bike!

Listening to “Gimme Shelter” today, reminded me of Minneapolis restaurant owner and hero Tracy Wong. On the frigid January 2026 morning when Border Patrol gunmen executed Alex Pretti on Nicollet Avenue, Wong rushed to her business located on the same block, opened the doors to protestors who had been gassed by tear gas and pepper spray, comforted them and provided hot tea.

I knew without even looking that this was going to be the case. "Software" will eventually be used to mean anything, like hosting the model weights of Stable Diffusion or Flux for download, or maybe just Photoshop since that can remove clothes from an image too.
It was already illegal to produce or distribute these fake nudes.

Donald Trump blamed Minnesota for a water system cyberattack on 30 facilities that the FBI has concluded was orchestrated by Iran.
"I think I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent," Trump said. "I would blame it on Minnesota and the governor, the corrupt governor of Minnesota."

🏆 New Achievement! Ticket #MN-0730: Water Infrastructure Still On Fire, Please Advise!
STATUS: OPEN. PRIORITY: CRITICAL. UPDATE 1: Shahid Kaveh, also known as Shahid Kaveh, has compromised 30 Minnesota public water systems. UPDATE 2: They targeted Unitronics PLC V570 devices specifically because the software is Israeli-made, then defaced systems to say so. CISA had just refreshed its PLC advisory. (1/2)

So, #MSM is parroting #Trump administration's accusations that #Iran was behind the #Cyberattack on water systems in #Minnesota. Sounds like a good excuse to wipe out #WaterResources in Iran as revenge! Plus, similar incidents have happened in #MN. Who has a big grudge against folks in Minnesota? Not Iran!!!
Cyberattack targets Minnesota cities' water systems
"State technology officials say more than 30 Minnesota municipal water systems were targeted in a coordinated cyberattack this week.
"In at least one case, a city’s well and treatment plant were temporarily knocked offline Monday. Other cities reported that the attack targeted communications and automated operations within their water system — forcing a move to manual workarounds.
"The attack prompted Minnesota IT Services to activate a statewide cybersecurity incident response involving local, state and federal agencies.
"Authorities did not say whether they know who is responsible for the cyberattack and did not elaborate on a possible motive.
"Officials said water in the affected cities remains safe to drink."
[...]
"The city of Braham reported that the attack targeted the computerized operating systems for its well and water treatment plant.
"Mayor Nate George told #MPR News that a water plant operator noticed a problem Monday morning: The city’s water tower needed to draw in water, but the well wasn’t working.
" 'There was power — but there was no controls, you know, telling the water where to go,' he said.
"The city alerted #BrahamMN residents to limit water use, to keep the water in the tower from running out. An investigation found that a cyberattack caused the outage.
" 'They were able to hack into the control system of the of the well and just turn the well off, basically,' George said.
"Within an hour and a half, city staff got the system back up and running. The city said the attack 'did not alter or cause any issue to the physical water plant or water quality or safety.'
"The cities of #MaplePlainMN, #PlymouthMN and South St. Paul reported issues with automated controls and communications for their water systems.
" 'The issue is limited to equipment connected via cellular communications within the system, and crews have continued operating as normal through manual procedures,' the city of Plymouth reported Monday evening.
"Michael Thompson is the public works director in Plymouth. He said Tuesday that the city has extra staff monitoring the water system while automated operations are offline.
" 'We plan for these types of events, so we just had to physically go out to lift stations or the water towers, just to ensure they were functioning and running properly,' he said.
"State officials did not say which other cities were targeted in the cyberattack.
"Other local governments around the state have been targeted by cyberattacks in recent years, including the city of #SaintPaulMN in 2025 and #WinonaCounty earlier this year. Some school districts have also been affected."
