Flour kills

Minneapolis has spent most of its history exploding.
In 1878 the Washburn "A" Mill, then the second largest flour mill in Minneapolis, exploded. A spark ignited the seven stories of suspended flour, blowing the lid off the building and destroying a third of Minneapolis's industrial capacity.

The Washburn "A" Mill was rebuilt, better, stronger, faster than before, and ran until the 1960's. In 1991 the building caught fire again. Preservationists took charge of the property and today the Mill City Museum stands on the site.

[LIVE] What's going on

Okay, so it turns out I've got this blog about a little floating adventure.

Tomorrow, February 5 I turn 29 years old and the next post will go up.

Just to warn you, that one is rather short but some long ones are going up after that. Some of these I wrote on the river, some I just typed up here.

Here is Minneapolis. I am still carving out a life for myself. I am tutoring some Somali students in mathematics and volunteering at Leonardo's Basement. I'm still looking for a job that will keep me in the black, but I'm eating better and staying warmer than I was out on the Mississippi.

I am still planning to finish.
