@manton how about read-only free, pay to enable posting. (Maybe that’s how it already works; I wouldn’t know.)

On the Sinclair Trails blog: We visited the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro area.

According to Wikipedia, it is the largest mall in the United States, the largest in the Western Hemisphere, and the twelfth largest shopping mall in the world.

On the Sinclair Trails blog: We visited the Field of Dreams Movie Site in Dyersville, Iowa, location of the classic Field of Dreams baseball movie. We were fortunate enough to be able to time our visit for one of the four annual Ghost Players shows. ⚾️

@skoobz but the previous couple of games were great. Ya win some, ya lose some, and sometimes the roof is closed.

@mitchw thanks for that. Sounds like an author I might enjoy. Currently working my way through Spider Robinson books based on the comparison to Heinlein.

@bradenslen fascinating; I didn’t realize there was an European bison.

@manton sounds fun. My Bryce blog posts might have some useful info for your trip.

@Burk that is an excellent idea. I should do that with my dash cam SD cards.

@odd I rely on cell service with my motorhome, so buffering is sometimes an issue for me in low cell areas.

@val that picture was from the customer lounge, that has windows overlooking the storage area. Our coach was in a service bay on the far side. Owners can go in there, though it’s discouraged for safety and security reasons.

@manton looking at my timeline on the Micro.blog website, my last post with a picture appearing was 2024-04-16 at 13:25. Minutes later at 13:37 was another post without its picture. So that gives you a pretty small window of when it started.

@DazeEnd been there. I found it kinda depressing. Not too surprising, perhaps.

@manton hope it’s more clear for you. I’m in Paris, Texas, and it’s socked in currently.

@starrwulfe it’s fine. He’s indoor-only, so his house just happens to move. He’s not a fan of travel days, so we give him some medication to chill him out a bit on those days, so he’s not bothered by it.
