Life in Mpls.

    The condo is not far from Nicollet Island Park which had a lovely place to play fetch with Kaia. She needs much exercise and I can't throw the tennis ball long enough to wear her out. Today we went twice which made her very happy. She non-reactive to other dogs which is very helpful. A large golden ran toward her as she was fetching but she ignored the golden picked up the ball and raced back to me. This non-reactivity is very helpful when there are other dogs in the elevator. Such a good girl!

From Heather Cox-Richardson's blog today.

"In a speech in March 1861, Alexander Stephens of Georgia, who would soon be the vice president of the Confederate States of America, explained to an audience that Jefferson’s belief that all men are created equal was ​​“an error” and that anyone who still adhered to that idea was an insane “fanatic.” Stephens told listeners: “Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.” '
