The farms are being owned by big farmers who own thousands and ten thousands of acres. The day of the 80 - 160 acre farm are over. When my uncles farm went up for sale after he died there were local "super farmers" who were very eager to buy the 240 acres he had. Those boys could buy the land...

Well, when the Orange Leader annexes Canada we can work to put out the fires. I was just up in the Canadian Rockies and the news outlets were reporting a group of Albertans who want to leave Canada and become their own independent country. They had "Make Alberta Great Again" hats.

With the price of land and the low prices on corn and soybean it will be very hard for small farms to remain viable. Southwest Minnesota land is running well over 10k per acre.

Ironically, I have been hiking in the Canadian Rockies and the air is wonderfully clear. However, I drove through and around Jasper and that fire must have been unreal. Trees are burned to a crisp for miles and miles, all the way up and over mountains. It's devastating and some very nice hikes...

Soccer and lacrosse are just poor man's hockey. 🤔😏

For great scenery, rent a houseboat in Voyaguers National Park. Spend time in Kab, Namakan, Sand Lake and Crane Lake. Make sure to stop at Kettle Falls.

Walleye is much better on Vermillion.

You know the old phrase, "You can always tell a Finn, but you can't tell him much."

Because of watching a number of tours, I have told my wife that if we go to France we can quickly leave Paris and head to various areas that I have seen via the tour. Man made stuff is not nearly as interesting to me as the land and geography of France. Show me the coastline, the grain fields...

Based on his comment about catching a catfish on an overnight jug, it's pretty clear he was talking about fishing in another state. I would suggest he fish for muskie at Lake of the Isles. Some of Minnesota's largest muskie are lurking in those waters. More than a few small dogs have met their...

Everytime I see someone put their hands up with a peace sign, I think of Ozzy on the cover of Volume 4. I loved Paranoid for its anti-war theme, but for me, Volume 4 may have been the best album.

For a moment it looked like Onley was going to move past Lipowitz, but now the four best in this tour are in a row. Arensman is still 25 seconds ahead with 2 and a half miles to go. Can the yellow group catch him?

Not me. The click bait is tiresome as these writers do lazy journalism. In the past week people have speculated about Jax going to a handful of teams. But, for speculation sake, how do you think Jax blowing the save, yesterday, hurts his chances of being picked up by the Dodgers?

Why put this click bait here if Jax has not been traded to the Mets?

My legs were aching just watching today's ride. This ride was just ridiculous. Ben O'Connor was fantastic, but Onley and Roglic also made some noise. It will be interesting to see if Lipowitz can hold that third spot into Paris.

So...you're saying it's year zero...😏

I have tried to watch Colbert...and Kimmel, but I just didn't find them very funny. I liked Conan and I can generally tolerate Fallon. Is it the host or the writers that generate the laughs? I find political jokes pretty cheap and not funny so maybe it's just lazy writers that I don't like. In...

The tradable guys are those on expiring contracts like Bader, Vazquez and France. The next level up would be guys like Jax, Correa, and Castro. There is some talent in the minors so if we are not going to make a playoff run, then it's time for those kids to audition.

I got in about 12 miles this morning before taking cover due to a pop-up thunderstorm that I didn't see on the radar until the rain came in buckets. At first I thought there might be hail, which is why I immediately ducked into a park and found an awning to try salvage some dryness. After about...

Ben Healy with a surprising ride today. I always like watching the ride up Mont Ventoux. The average grade for the incline is 8% and the climb is for nearly 9 miles. No doubt the nation of France is celebrating today's stage winner.
