Talk amongst yourselves.
The weather here turned quite mild yesterday for the next week or so. most of the snow and ice will be melted, no pun intended.
I started posting because I kind of needed to make myself discuss things besides whatever first comes to mind right now living in Minneapolis. So that has been nice. Posting my SOTD has helped me make sure to moisturize as well, so I can log it! So that's good. it's been good having a place structured and designated for discussing one specific thing!
That said, most of us in Minneapolis have one thing that is first and last on our minds these days. Hopefully nobody coming across this falls into the camp of those who strongly support what's happening in Minnesota. But if you do feel free to move on and we can leave each other alone for the moment. People usually don't get too "political" on wetshaving but this isn't just political anymore, it's daily life here and all around us, and the first thing on anyone's mind so...
Yesterday sucked. Finished my shave and getting ready and heard about a friend's apartment building being broken into by feds to arrest someone. Friend is safe. In this case they did have an actual warrant but still chose to break a set of glass doors and then a security door. That afternoon ICE was down the street. they were not kidnapping someone. Turns out they were changing a flat tire. They had been prowling around an elementary school at release time, pursued someone, reportedly hit several cars, busted a tire, retreated and left, and ended up stopping down the street from me to change the tire. Shortly after I found out an old friend from years ago died of liver failure recently. I had seem them post they found out they were sick and needed a transplant soon last month. I didn't get a chance to talk to them. I guess they didn't make it much longer. We weren't super close but they were young, about 35. They were a stand up person and spent a lot of time working with others to try to make the world better.
