Passers-by are a small part of what goes on inside (and out) a coffee shop. See where I've enjoyed so many tasty, robust and memorable mugs of java.

500+ years ago what is now the country of YEMEN was the premiere, yeah, the ONLY place you could have a cup of Joe.

The Dogwood Coffee guys were sampling their legendary brew at Minneapolis Institute of Art as part of a recent Bike Night sponsored and hosted by MIA.

Not sure where this shot was taken, but the TREK is mine, and the iced latte must have hit the spot.

Winter's got a few more surprises up her sleeve here in Long Lake, MN.

Some 6-7" fell Saturday night, and not all of it ended up in the yard and driveway.  The result above is very pretty to look at and you don't even need to shovel!

Snow has been weighing down the boughs of this pine for, what, one hundred-plus years?

I waited around yesterday afternoon to catch a glimpse of the partiers, but, alas, everyone must still have been inside merrymaking.

With thanks to Rivendell Cycles: classic photo of Royal Canadian Border Police headed out on manuevers.

Unknown photog, ca. 1912, captured a squadron of velo warriors on their way to secure their border with the United States.
