Yesterday I ran down to Burgraff’s ACE Hardware to buy a posthole digger to begin the process of preventing my side yard from becoming a sink hole next spring. I said hello to Duluth’s retired Mayor Gary Doty while shopping. He asked me genially how things were going and I grinned and said that any day I can bring about consternation and mayhem was a good day. The Mayor was quick to reply assuring me, “Then you’re having a good day.”
That led to a friendly discussion about the state of the schools but it didn’t long. We both had work to attend to.
